M EDIA P OLICIES In the event that the name or likeness of Bearer is included in any broadcast, telecast, photograph, film, video or other media taken in connection with any Event, Bearer grants the SEC (or, if the media is controlled by a SEC member, grants such SEC member) the nonexclusive, transferable, perpetual right and license to use (and to sublicense the use of ) such name and likeness in any media worldwide whether now known or thereafter devised. Bearer agrees to indemnify and save harmless the SEC, its member institutions, and their respective agents, employees, directors, officers, studentathletes, coaches, and contractors, of and from any and all claims, liabilities, demands and causes of action asserted by persons and entities other than the SEC and its member institutions (jointly “Claims”) arising out of any act or omission, or anything done or purported to have been done, by Bearer, including but not limited to Claims arising from Bearer’s breach of any term or condition hereof. With respect to any Claim that might give rise to liability of the Bearer as an indemnitor, the indemnified party shall: (a) have the right to fully participate in the litigation of such claim with counsel selected by the indemnified party at the sole expense of the Bearer, and (b) not be obligated, without its consent, to participate in any settlement of such Claim.
SEC C REDENTIAL P OLICY By accepting or using a media credential (“Credential”) for access to any game or athletic contest sponsored or hosted by the Southeastern Conference (the “SEC”) or by any one or more of its member institutions (herein an “Event” or the “Events”) each person and entity issued such a Credential (herein referred to, along with the employer of each such person, collectively as a “Bearer”) agrees to the following terms and conditions: General Each Bearer must be and hereby represents that he or she is acting on a specific assignment for an accredited media agency and has a legitimate working function in connection with the Event attended. The Credential is not transferable and may be revoked at any time. The rights and privileges granted to Bearer may be terminated if any term or condition for use of the Credential is breached. The unauthorized use of the Credential subjects the Bearer to ejection from the Event. While within the Event venue, Bearer shall, at all times, adhere to the policies in place for the Event, abide by and respect access limitations, and accept and follow directions provided by the SEC or the SEC member institution(s) hosting the Event. Bearer assumes all risks incidental to the performance by the Bearer of Bearer’s services in connection with the Event and assumes all risks incidental to each Event, whether occurring before, during or after the actual playing of the Event, and agrees that the SEC, its member institutions, and their respective agents, employees, directors, officers, student-athletes, coaches, and contractors shall not be liable for bodily injury, property damage or theft losses suffered or incurred by Bearer at the Event. Bearer understands that sports contests are physical, and that in the normal course of play it is possible for balls, players, or other objects to leave the court, track, course, or field of play and impact spectators. Bearer hereby waives and releases any and all Claims (as defined below) against the SEC and its member institutions arising directly or indirectly from any such injury, including those attributable to their negligence or that of their agents.
SEC R EAL -T IME I NTERNET P OLICY By acceptance and use of an SEC media credential, the holder agrees to the following conditions for any and all athletic events hosted by the SEC and its member institutions: 1. The SEC and its member institutions grant a media organization a limited license to use certain gathered information on the media organization's own Internet or online site beginning at the start of an athletic event and up to the conclusion of such event, all subject to the following limitations and conditions: (a) No more than 10 still photographs may be used for news coverage of the game and other editorial purposes during the event. (b) Video tape may only be shown as part of a single, non-archived, online "simulcast" of a television station's regularly-scheduled news program. (c) While a game is in progress, the use of textual

Practice/Press Conferences UK basketball practices will be open to a select number of media members each session. No cell phones are allowed in the practice facility. Player interviews are conducted prior to practices and will be available to all UK media on the Joe Craft Center practice court. Coach Calipari will meet with members of the media immediately following player interviews either on the practice court or in the Memorial Coliseum media room. Media will be allowed to shoot video and still photography for five minutes at the start of practice each session. After the 5-minute mark all media must clear the practice floor and approved media members will be escorted to the viewing deck for the conclusion of practice. All player interview and practice access requests are due by 10:00 am ET on the day of each practice session. Gameday shoot-arounds are closed to the media.
statistical information is time-delayed and limited in amount (e.g., updates pertaining to score, injuries and national, conference or institutional record-breaking performances, a condensed halftime story) so that an organization's Internet or online game coverage does not undercut the authorized and rights-paying fee organization's rights to play-by-play accounts of the game and/or exclusivity as to such rights. 2. Any proposed media use on an Internet or online sight of the game information that is more detailed and/or more than described above will require separate written authorization by the SEC and/or its member institutions. However, such written authorization will not permit the use of game information in entertainment contexts and will not authorize game coverage that, due to immediacy or detail, constitutes or approaches a play-by-play account of a game. 3. Should any of these conditions be breached, the SEC and/or its member institutions will issue a written warning for the first violation. If this violation occurs during the last game of the institutions' regularly-scheduled season, the media organization may not be credentialed for the SEC Tournament. A second violation of this policy will result in revocation of credentials to cover future basketball games hosted by the SEC and/or its member institutions.
Telephone Player Interviews Request telephone interviews at least 24 hours in advance through the Media Relations office. Telephone requests will be returned when players’ schedules allow. Radio Call-In Shows/Internet Chats As specified by the Southeastern Conference, no players will be allowed to participate in live radio shows or on live chat sessions on the Internet other than UKAthletics.com.
C REDENTIAL R EQUESTS Requests for single games credentials should be made as far in advance as possible and no later than five (5) days prior to game day online at www.sportssystems.com/Kentucky.
Postgame Interviews Following each game, there is a 20-minute coolingoff period, during which time the players shower and dress. Approximately 10 minutes after the game ends, Coach Calipari conducts his postgame press conference while a player is taken to the Big Blue Sports Network. Following Coach Calipari’s press conference and the cooling-off period, selected UK players are brought to the media interview room.
Jamie Holloway Office Coordinator 859.257.3838 jamie.holloway@uky.edu
Interview Policies-General All interviews with University of Kentucky basketball players or staff members must be arranged through the Media Relations office. Media should never contact a player or coach directly. The Wildcat Lodge, team locker rooms, and other team quarters are private team areas. Media members are not permitted in these areas unless accompanied by appropriate University personnel.
UKathletics.com The official Web site for University of Kentucky Athletics is updated 24 hours before each game with the latest game notes and quotes from Coach John Calipari and selected players. Following each game, the site will post a game box score with summary, postgame quotes and notes from all home games and updated season statistics.

R ADIO B ROADCASTS uning into Kentucky basketball games on radio has been a tradition of following the Wildcats since the dawn of the Fabulous Five. Even today, as Kentucky basketball continues to dominate the state in popularity from Pikeville to Paducah, fans tune into the action all across the United States. Again this year, more than 75 stations will carry each game live. So whether the Big Blue fans are in Orlando, Fla., or Harlan, Ky., they can tune into the largest college basketball radio network in the country. The network reaches its outer limits thanks to such stations as Clear Channel’s WHAS in Louisville, 840 on the AM dial, or WSAI-AM in Cincinnati, at frequency 1530. Each broadcast also can be heard around the world on ukathletics.com. Outstanding broadcasters have called Wildcat games through the years. Claude Tom Leach and former UK All-American Mike Pratt, one of the top broadcast crews in Sullivan spent 19 years (1948the nation today, teamed up for the first time in 2001-02. 67) behind the microphone describing UK men’s basketball and football games, while the legendary Cawood Ledford described the action for 39 years (1953-92). Ralph Hacker, Ledford’s partner beginning in 1973, took over the playby-play duties in 1993 before retiring following the 2001 season, an impressive 29-year career. The rights to the UK broadcasts are owned by Host Communications and Gray Television with WLAP Radio Lexington serving as the flagship station.

HEAD COACH
JOHNCALIPARI CLARION, 1982
fter bringing the University of Massachusetts basketball program to national prominence in the ‘90s and resurrecting the Memphis basketball program in the 2000s, John Calipari became the 22nd coach in UK history, and the seventh in the last 79 years. In 1996, Calipari moved from UMass to the NBA after leading the Minutemen to the Final Four. For his efforts, Calipari was named Naismith National Coach of the Year. Calipari led the Tigers to the 2008 NCAA title game, and Memphis’ 38 wins in 2007-08 made him the winningest coach for a single season in NCAA history. As a result, Calipari was named Naismith National Coach of the Year for a second time in his career. He is only the second coach to receive the honor multiple times since the award’s inception in 1987. Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski is the other to do so. Calipari, the 2009 Sports Illustrated National Coach of the Year, led the Tigers to nine-straight 20-win campaigns and nine-consecutive postseason appearances, the only Memphis coach to do that. He posted 252 wins — 28 wins per season — as the Tigers’ head coach, making him the winningest coach in school history. Calipari’s success began in his first season at Memphis, but it was the last four years that placed him in the NCAA and school record books. The Tigers’ 147 wins the last four seasons made Calipari the winningest coach in a four-year span in NCAA Division I history. His 104 victories in the last three seasons are the second-most in NCAA Division I history over a three-year span. He directed the Tigers to the top of both national polls in 2007-08, becoming the fifth coach in NCAA Division I history to take two different schools to the No. 1 ranking. Calipari led UMass to No. 1 in 1996. He joined Roy Williams, Ralph Miller, Frank McGuire and Eddie Sutton in that elite club. The last four seasons, Calipari directed the Tigers to four-straight 30-win campaigns and is the first coach in NCAA Division I history to record fourstraight 30-win ledgers. With his success at Memphis, Calipari’s overall

record soared to 445-140 for an impressive 76.1 winning percentage. His 445 wins are the secondmost in NCAA Division I history in the first 17 years, behind only Roy Williams. Calipari’s 76.1 winning percentage is the thirdhighest among active NCAA Division I coaches with 10 years experience at college basketball’s Division I level, trailing only Roy Williams and Mark Few. On the NCAA Division I list for winning percentage for all coaches (minimum 10 years), Calipari is in 14th place and ahead of Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim, Bob Huggins and Lute Olson. With his four 30-win seasons at Memphis, Calipari now has six for his career, which is the fourth-most for a head coach in NCAA Division I history. For his career (16 years), Calipari has 15 20-win seasons and nine 25-win campaigns. Much like he did at UMass, when his players graduated at nearly 80 percent, Calipari did the same at Memphis. 18 of the last 21 seniors that came through the Tiger program have earned their bachelor’s degrees. Calipari compiled a 193-71 record (.731) during his eight-year career at Massachusetts, including a 108-44 mark (.684) in Atlantic 10 play. In addition to five-straight NCAA Tournaments, UMass also made two appearances in the NIT, advancing to the NIT final four in 1991. The 1990-91 season was the first of sixstraight seasons in which the Minutemen won at least 20 games. Calipari’s personal 20-win streak has reached the 15-season mark as all of his Memphis clubs won 20-plus games. In his final season at UMass, Calipari was named the 1996 Naismith National Coach of the Year and The Sporting News National Coach of the Year. He was also named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year for the third time in four years, as well as Basketball Times East Region Coach of the Year. During the Minutemen’s 35-2 season in 199596, UMass posted wins over Kentucky, Maryland, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and Louisville. UMass ended the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation in the final regular season poll after being the top-ranked team for nine weeks earlier in the year. The Minutemen also won their first 26 games of the season, setting a school record for most consecutive wins. In addition to his National Coach of the Year honors in 1996, Calipari was a Naismith Coach of

the Year finalist in 1994 and 1995. He was the USBWA District I Coach of the Year in 1993. At 29, when he was named head coach, Calipari began to build a program from the ground up, going 10-18 his first season before posting a 17-14 record his second year (receiving a bid to the NIT). The Minutemen won their first A-10 championship in 1992 with a 30-5 record, including a 13-3 mark in league play. With a 7771 overtime win over Syracuse in an East Regional second-round game, UMass made its first NCAA Sweet 16 appearance. Calipari left UMass in June of 1996 to become Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and Head Coach of the New Jersey Nets. He led the Nets to a second-place finish in the NBA’s Atlantic Division and the playoffs in 1998, ending a five-year postseason drought for the franchise. The Nets’ 17-game turnaround from the previous year was the best that season in the NBA. He became a member of the Philadelphia 76ers coaching staff in 1999, rejoining Philadelphia coach Larry Brown, for whom Calipari was an assistant at Kansas. Calipari began his coaching career at Kansas as a volunteer assistant under Ted Owens. In 1983, he was hired as the recruiting coordinator at the University of Vermont, but was swayed back to the nation’s heartland when Brown was hired as head coach at KU. He spent three seasons at

ASSISTANT COACH
JOHNROBIC DENISON, 1986
T HE R OBIC F ILE
ohn Robic is in his first season with the Kentucky basketball program but is a long time associate of UK head coach John Calipari. Beginning with their first season together at UMass in 1988-89, where Robic was an assistant under Calipari, the two are entering their 13th season together. And it seems as if the Calipari-Robic duo is a proven combination for thrilling basketball seasons. Similar to those magical years he assisted in at UMass in the 1990s, Robic helped lead Memphis to the program’s most storied era in school history in four seasons at Memphis (2006-09). The last four years, the Tigers won an NCAA record 137 games (137-14 record), while advancing to the 2006 and 2007 NCAA Elite Eights, the 2008 NCAA title game and sweeping the 2006-09 Conference USA regular season and tournament crowns. Memphis had win streaks of 27 games in 2008-09, 26 games in 2007-08 and 25 games in 2006-07, and the Tigers spent each week of the last four years in the national polls. In 2007-08, Robic was a part of the Tigers’ “Dream Season,” which lasted through the NCAA championship game. Memphis set an NCAA record for victories with 38 wins (38-2 mark) and held down the No. 1 spot in both national polls for a school-record five-straight weeks during the season. Prior to 2005-06, Robic directed the Youngstown State program from 1999-2005. During his time there, he and his staff faced a huge challenge as the Penguins moved from the Mid-Continent Conference (Mid-Con) to the Horizon League, one of the nation’s premier basketball conferences that includes Butler (2003, 2007 NCAA Sweet 16) and WisconsinMilwaukee (2005 NCAA Sweet 16). Prior to its move to the Horizon League, Youngstown State put together a tremendous year in the Mid-Con in 2000-01, Robic’s second year at the helm. The Penguins posted a 19-11 overall mark and an 11-5 Mid-Con record. The 19 overall wins were the second-most in 16 seasons, and the 11 league victories tied the school record for most conference wins. Before taking over at Youngstown State, Robic

served as an assistant for 11 years at UMass for both Calipari and Bruiser Flint. He played an integral role in building the Minutemen into a national power. After a 10-18 mark his first season on staff, Robic helped lead the Minutemen to nine-consecutive winning campaigns. From 1990-96, the Minutemen averaged 26 wins per year and had six-straight 20-win seasons, including two 30-victory campaigns. UMass made the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in 1992, Elite Eight in 1995 and Final Four in 1996. It was UMass’ first appearance on college basketball’s largest stage. After Calipari moved on to the NBA, Robic remained at UMass and was elevated to the associate head coach post under Flint from 199799. During his tenure at UMass, the Minutemen posted a 247-111 overall record (.690 winning percentage) and earned nine postseason tournament bids (seven NCAA, two NIT). Prior to joining Calipari at UMass, Robic served as a graduate assistant on Larry Brown’s staff at Kansas for two years (1986-87, 1987-88). A graduate of North Hills High School in Pittsburgh, Pa., Robic attended Walsh College in Canton, Ohio, before transferring to Denison University in Granville, Ohio, where he earned his B.A. in speech communication and physical education in 1986. At Denison, Robic garnered Division III AllAmerica accolades as a senior and was a two-time all-conference performer. He was one of 10 former players to be named to the 10th Anniversary All-Decade Team in the league in 1994. In the fall of 2006, he was inducted into the Denison Athletic Hall of Fame. Robic was inducted into the North Hills High School Hall of Fame in 2004. Robic and his wife, Heidi, have three daughters, Hayley, Alli and Sophie.

ASSISTANT COACH
ORLANDOANTIGUA PITTSBURGH, 1995
T HE A NTIGUA F ILE
fter only one season on John Calipari’s staff at Memphis, Orlando Antigua comes to Kentucky to serve as an assistant coach. When he joined the Memphis staff in 2008, the Tigers were the winningest program over a threeyear span in NCAA Division I, recording 104 victories from 2005-08. So what did Antigua do? He helped coach the Tigers to a 33-4 record and a spot in the 2009 NCAA Sweet 16. For the fourth straight season, the Tigers took the regular season and tournament titles, going undefeated in CUSA three of the four years. Prior to his brief stay in Memphis, Antigua worked at his alma mater, Pittsburgh. During his five years at Pitt, he helped lead the Panthers to an overall record of 132-40 (.767 winning percentage) and a Big East Conference mark of 55-27 (.670 winning percentage). Pittsburgh recorded five-straight 20-win campaigns and won 10 or more league games five-consecutive years. The Panthers had just as much success in the postseason during Antigua's years. Pitt won the 2003-04 Big East regular season crown and advanced to four Big East Tournament championship games in his five years on staff, claiming the 2008 league postseason title. The Panthers earned NCAA Tournament bids all five of Antigua's years and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in 2004 and 2007. Antigua's first stint with Pittsburgh was his collegiate playing days from 1991-95. A four-year letterwinner and two-time team captain, Antigua ranks in the top 15 on the Panthers' all-time 3pointers made (14th with 117 treys), blocked shots (14th with 78 swats) and career 3-point percentage (seventh at 38.6 percent). A 1992 Big East Conference All-Rookie Team pick, Antigua helped lead the Panthers to an 1816 record and a National Invitation Tournament (NIT) berth as a freshman. The following year, Antigua's Panthers went 17-11 and earned an NCAA Tournament bid. In 1994, he was named the United States Basketball Writers' Association (USBWA) Most Courageous Athlete, an honor presented annually to the college basketball player who displays courage on and off the court. Antigua graduated from Pittsburgh with a degree

in social sciences in December 1995. After graduation, Antigua was selected to play for the world-renowned Harlem Globetrotters, becoming the first player of Latin American descent to play for the squad. Nicknamed "Hurricane" for his dazzling moves, Antigua played with the Globetrotters for seven years until 2002. Antigua also played in the Puerto Rico Superior Basketball League for eight years, and in both 199495 and 1997-98, he was a member of the Dominican Republic national team. Because of his dedication to the community, Antigua was named one of the nation's top 100 most influential Hispanic Americans by Hispanic Business magazine. Prior to rejoining the Panthers' program, Antigua served as an assistant basketball coach at nearby Mt. Lebanon High School in 2002-03. A Dominican Republic native who was raised in Bronx, N.Y., Antigua recovered from a 1988 Halloween incident where he was shot in the head near his left eye. Undeterred by the incident, Antigua quickly returned to the playing court two weeks later and went on to play three seasons at Pittsburgh with the slug in his head. Doctors initially ruled out removing the bullet as being too risky, but Antigua began suffering severe headaches. Antigua's family also went through a period of homelessness. The oldest of three brothers, Antigua was credited with keeping the family together while housing was secured. He overcame these difficulties and went on to serve as student council president at St. Raymond's High School.

President Todd is the sixth UK alumnus to hold the presidency. President Todd has concentrated his efforts and energies on helping his alma mater achieve a greater level of national prominence. He launched the University of Kentucky’s top-20 Business Plan in December 2005. The plan is a quantitative analysis highlighting what it will take for UK to achieve its state-mandated goal of building a Top 20 public research university. Widely hailed as the first business plan by a public university in the nation, UK’s plan garnered widespread national attention. It has been featured by national media outlets and recognized by peer institutions, as several higher education leaders have visited UK’s campus to learn more about the Business Plan approach. He continues to champion UK’s outreach efforts. President Todd launched a universityfunded research program called the Commonwealth Collaboratives.

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR
MITCHBARNHART Director of Athletics (Seventh Year) Ottawa University, 1981
M
itch Barnhart is in his eighth year at the University of Kentucky, with unparalleled accomplishments in his past and unprecedented goals for the future. When he arrived in 2002, Barnhart’s first move was to totally support all 22 varsity sports with the maximum number of scholarships and coaches, along with the facilities, equipment and support staff needed to make those teams successful. The commitment to fully fund every sport produced never-before-seen successes in UK athletics, with first-ever Southeastern Conference championships in baseball, men’s golf and women’s tennis. Perhaps the biggest on-field turnaround has been in football, where Barnhart’s hire of Rich Brooks has led the Wildcats to bowl wins in three consecutive years, the first time that has been accomplished in UK’s 117 seasons in the sport. In order to make the dreams a reality, Barnhart spearheaded record-breaking growth in philanthropic giving, ticket sales and a comprehensive multi-media rights agreement. Barnhart’s connection to UK student-athletes is evident by his individual interaction and dedication to provide the support services necessary to meet their needs. UK Athletics spends more than $1.5 million annually on its nationally renowned Center for Academic and Tutorial Services. He also began the CATSPYs, an annual awards program that honors the best of UK Athletics. Additional initiatives begun under Barnhart’s leadership include the UK Athletics Hall of Fame and the Joe Craft Center, a $30 million facility that includes new practice and administrative space for a variety of sports.
Barnhart’s influence reaches far beyond the fields of competition. Despite athletics’ urgent financial needs, Barnhart initiated a $1.2 million annual contribution to the University’s scholarship program, a contribution that is being increased to $1.7 million this year. Social responsibility in the Commonwealth of Kentucky is a priority for Barnhart, who has been extremely active in community service and encourages the UK athletics staff to do the same. Not content with past successes, Barnhart’s ambitious course for the future was revealed with his recent announcement of the “15x15x15” plan. The goals are to win at least 15 conference or national championships and rank among the NCAA’s top 15 athletic programs by 2015 – all of which would represent unprecedented achievements for UK Athletics – while continuing to expand UK Athletics’ service to the local community and commonwealth of Kentucky. Another goal of the initiative is a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average for UK’s 500 student-athletes. Barnhart arrived at Kentucky from Oregon State, where he served four successful years (19982002) as athletics director. Before his term at OSU, he worked in athletics administration posts at Tennessee (1986-98), Southern Methodist University (1983-86), Oregon (1983) and San Diego State (1982-1983). Barnhart, 50, is a native of Kansas City, Kan. He received his bachelor’s degree from Ottawa University (Kansas) in 1981 and a masters in sports administration from Ohio University in 1982. He and his wife, the former Connie Brown, have three children, Kirby, Blaire and Scott.

Rupp Arena (22,579) Lexington, Ky. • Nov. 14, 2008
VMI Kentucky
111 103
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Billy Gillispie didn't mention Gardner-Webb, but his postgame assessment was verbatim from the last time his Kentucky team was shocked like this. "They whipped us," Gillispie said of the Wildcats' 111-103 upset to Virginia Military Institute Friday night. The upset came just over a year after Gardner-Webb's 84-68 stunner over the Wildcats in Gillispie's second game as coach. The sequel came in the opener of year two, which was supposed to be a tuneup for the Wildcats' trip to No. 1 North Carolina next week. VMI's shoot-first approach was lethal to Kentucky's youthful backcourt. Not since 1989 against North Carolina had a Kentucky team given up so many points, although it was also the first time in five years the Wildcats had passed the century mark. Travis Holmes led six Keydets in double-digits with 30 points and was beaming afterward. Even a 39-point effort from Kentucky's Jodie Meeks -- nearly double his career high of 21 -- wasn't enough to keep pace. The Keydets took an 83-60 lead, their largest of the game, on Keith Gabriel's 3-pointer with 14:10 to go. It was VMI's 13th 3-pointer of the game, but the next wouldn't come until 10 minutes later. In between was a furious Kentucky comeback. Down 90-73 with 11 minutes to go, Kentucky scored the next 19 points -- nine of them by Meeks -- to cut the deficit to 1. The Wildcats tied the game at 95 with 5 minutes left on Perry Stevenson's tip-in and took their first lead on Ramon Harris' layup seconds later. But the Keydets had one last run left, and it was too much. After Kentucky's Patrick Patterson hit a layup to pull the Wildcats to 104-103, the Keydets scored the final 7 points to ice the game. Patterson, UK's star center, finished with only 8 points. Kentucky was sloppy early, racking up 13 of its 25 turnovers in the first 11 minutes. That, coupled with the Keydets' apparent inability to miss a 3-pointer -- good on 7 of their first 8 attempts -- made for an anxious first half for the capacity Rupp Arena crowd. VMI jumped out to a 14-3 lead three minutes in and stretched their advantage to 42-21 at the 10-minute mark after two free throws from Willie Bell. Then the tide seemed to turn for the Wildcats, albeit briefly. The Keydets finally started misfiring from long range, connecting on only one of seven attempts the rest of the half, and Kentucky finally started showing signs of offensive life. The Wildcats strung together three straight dunks in less than a minute, including one apiece by Perry Stevenson and Meeks. The highlight came from freshman guard Darius Miller, who grabbed Meeks' missed 3-pointer out of the air and slammed it home. Kentucky trailed 57-47 at halftime, but VMI made its first two 3s of the second half to stretch its lead. VMI's game plan had called for 50 three-point shots. Instead, it attempted 31, making 14.

Dean Smith Center (21,538) Chapel Hill, N.C. • Nov. 18, 2008
Kentucky North Carolina
No. 1/1
58 77
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Deon Thompson scored a career-high 20 points to help North Carolina beat Kentucky 77-58 on Tuesday night, his second straight confidence-building performance in Hansbrough's absence to start the season. But freshman 7-footer Tyler Zeller suffered a wrist injury late in the game that had coach Roy Williams sounding pessimistic. Zeller, who has started the first two games for Hansbrough, was injured after taking a hard foul by Ramon Harris in transition after a turnover. Zeller fell to the ground under the basket and got up holding his left wrist before heading to the locker room with 1:26 left and eventually being taken to a hospital for X-rays. The apparent injury put a damper on an otherwise easy victory for the Tar Heels (2-0), who led by double figures 4 minutes into the game and never looked back in a matchup of the winningest programs in men's college basketball. The Tar Heels have beaten the Wildcats in each of the past five seasons. Hansbrough has missed almost three weeks of practice with a stress reaction in his right shin, while top defender Marcus Ginyard is out until December after foot surgery. But the Tar Heels didn't need them to send the Wildcats to their first 0-2 start since the 2001 season. Their trapping defense forced 28 turnovers by Kentucky -- which had 25 in its opening loss to VMI -- while Thompson led an offense that spent much of the game on cruise control with a comfortable lead. After matching his previous high with 17 points in the opener, Thompson was 10-of-16 from the field and had nine rebounds before leaving to a standing ovation and fans chanting his name after he fouled out with 2:45 left. Patrick Patterson had 19 points and 11 rebounds to lead Kentucky, which was coming off a 111-103 loss to the Keydets for the Wildcats' second stunning early season home loss in as many seasons. North Carolina’s traps caused all kinds of problems early, speeding up the Wildcats and keeping them from getting the ball inside to Patterson -- the matchup that most concerned Williams with Hansbrough sidelined. Instead, the Wildcats committed six turnovers in the first 5 1/2 minutes to help the Tar Heels run out in transition to a 15-2 lead. The Tar Heels quickly increased the margin, converting a backcourt turnover into a 3-pointer from Wayne Ellington then forced another one that led to an alley-oop pass from Ty Lawson to Ellington for a dunk and a 25-6 lead midway through the half. Kentucky never had an answer. The Wildcats got no closer than 11 points, fell behind by 16 at halftime and trailed by as many as 21 midway through the second half.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Jodie Meeks and his Kentucky teammates made it clear from the beginning of their game against Delaware State on Saturday that they had no plans to lose their third game in a row to open the season. They had lost their home opener to VMI, then took a second defeat at No. 1 North Carolina. Kentucky's stifling defense frustrated the Hornets and Meeks scored from all over the floor to give the Wildcats their first win of the season. The Wildcats had not been 0-3 since 1926. The junior guard scored 22 points to lead Kentucky to a 71-42 victory. Meeks made 5 of 8 of his 3-point attempts. He has been the scoring leader, or shared that honor, for Kentucky (1-2) in each game. The Wildcats kept the defensive pressure on the Hornets (1-5), forcing 22 turnovers -- 13 in the first half. Delaware State made only 1 of 9 3point attempts. "This is probably the most talented team defensively we'll play all year," Hornets coach Greg Jackson said. The Wildcats fans roared their approval on one defensive play by Ramon Harris. Though he didn't come up with the steal, Harris went to the floor for a loose ball near the sideline, tried to throw a saving pass while sliding on his backside, but found a Delaware State player. Jackson knew the deck was stacked against his team, coming into Rupp Arena against a team -- and fans -- starving for a win, on the fourth of eight consecutive games on the road. "We could've come in here with a full tank and still gotten the same result," Jackson said. "We couldn't match their intensity, and not only their intensity, but their talent." Trevor Welcher and Arturo Dubois led the Hornets with 10 points each. Frisco Sandidge had eight rebounds for Delaware State. DSU had eight offensive rebounds, one in the first half, and one second-chance point in the game. Kentucky scored first in the second half on a 3-pointer by Michael Porter. DSU looked like it might make a game of it after that, when Dubois

Longwood Kentucky
57 91
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Patrick Patterson set a career-high with 28 points to lead Kentucky to an easy 91-57 win over Longwood on Monday night. Patterson, seven months removed from surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left ankle, added 12 rebounds and a career-high six assists for Kentucky (2-2), which needed just nine minutes to build a 24point lead in winning its second straight. Jodie Meeks added 17 points, Josh Harrellson scored 12 and Ramon Harris had nine points and eight rebounds for the Wildcats, who shot 52 percent from the field and outrebounded the Lancers 50-33. Ryan Bogan led Longwood (3-3) with 20 points, including six 3pointers, and Dana Smith had 18 points and six rebounds for the Lancers. Patterson's aggressiveness was a marked departure from his somewhat tentative play at times during Kentucky's first three games as he slowly working his way back into shape after a lengthy layoff following surgery. Judging by the way he played against the Lancers, particularly during his 22-point outburst in the first half, Patterson's rehab may almost be over. Using his size to create plenty of room on the block, Patterson had

little trouble getting his shot off against whoever Longwood threw at him. He made 12-of-15 field goals, most of them within a foot or two of the basket. The Wildcats got off to a quick start, scoring the game's first seven points and using their pressure to force the Lancers into careless turnovers which Kentucky turned into easy baskets at the other end. A putback by Ramon Harris gave Kentucky a 31-7 lead, though Bogan led a mini-rally by knocking down four 3-pointers over the next five minutes to cut the deficit to 38-24. The Wildcats, with more than a little urging by coach Billy Gillispie, ended the half with a 13-0 run to go up 51-24. Longwood never made a serious run in the second half. Kentucky heads west to continue play in the Las Vegas Invitational over the weekend. The Wildcats play Kansas State on Friday and either West Virginia or Iowa on Saturday.

Technicals: None. Fouled Out: Mazzulla, WVU (2:12) LEXINGTON, Ky. - Patrick Patterson scored a career-high 31 points and Jodie Meeks added 19 and six assists as Kentucky rolled by Lamar 103-61 on Wednesday night. DeAndre Liggins added 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists for the Wildcats (5-2). Kentucky shot 64 percent from the floor while overpowering the Cardinals to win its fifth straight. The Wildcats played most of the game without Ramon Harris, was taken to a local hospital for tests after colliding with teammate Michael Porter in the first half. Harris and Porter appeared to bang heads while scrambling near a loose ball, with both players falling to the floor. Harris struggled to get to his feet before falling back to the floor. He lay motionless for several minutes before being taken off the floor on a stretcher. Porter received 10 stitches over his left eye but was back on the bench by the end of the first half, though he did not return. Kentucky had a season-high 25 assists on 38 field goals and turned it oer just 16 times while playing with the kind of precision it has lacked for long stretches early in the season. It took the Wildcats less than five minutes to build a double-digit lead and went seven minutes without turning it over, heady territory for a team that was giving it away once every 90 seconds coming in. Liggins hit Patterson with a pair of fullcourt passes that led to easy layups, and he even showed off a little range. He knocked down a pair of 3-pointers in the second half that gave Kentucky a 74-37 lead. Coy Custer and Kenny Dawkins led Lamar (5-1) with 11 points apiece. The Wildcats outscored Lamar 46-24 in the paint and had a 202 advantage in fastbreak points. Patterson had his way in the lane, making 11 of 12 field goals and 9 of 11 free throws. Gillispie stressed the Wildcats couldn't afford to get off to a slow start aganst the smaller, quicker Cardinals and his team responded by making 16 of its first 20 shots. The Wildcats cruised to a 26-point halftime lead and Lamar didn't make a serious run at the lead in the second half.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Jack McClinton scored 23 points and James Dews added a season-high 18 as No. 21 Miami defeated ice-cold shooting Kentucky 73-67 on Saturday. The tale of the tape in this one was found beyond the 3-point arc. Miami (5-2) matched a season best with eight 3s, while Kentucky (5-3) misfired on 23 of 25 from behind the line. Dews matched his career high with four 3s. The Wildcats had their worst shooting game, going 25-70 (35.7 percent). Down 49-28, Kentucky went on a 12-1 run to cut the deficit to 10. The Wildcats would get within four a few minutes later after a fastbreak layup by DeAndre Liggins and another one by Jodie Meeks, fed by Liggins following a steal. But Miami's victory was preserved by two long jumpers by Brian Asbury. The first appeared to be a 3, but his foot was ruled on the line. The second was a no-doubter, pushing the Hurricanes' lead to 65-56 with under two minutes left. Asbury's 3 was Miami's only one of the second half, but it appeared early that the Hurricanes' sharp-shooting guards were going to overwhelm the Wildcats much the way VMI did earlier this season in an upset win.

Miami opened the game with two 3-pointers in the first minute and nailed two more, both by Dews, in the final minute before halftime. In between, things weren't much better for a Kentucky defense that couldn't seem to guard jump shots and a Kentucky offense that couldn't seem to make them. Miami closed the half on a 15-4 run, including the two last-minute 3s by Dews, to take a 46-26 lead. The taller Wildcats did the things they were expected to do, such as dominate the paint with 36 points compared to Miami's 18, and outrebound the Hurricanes 45-35. Kentucky's Patrick Patterson had a career-high 16 rebounds to go along with his 19 points, his fifth double-double of the season. Liggins, a freshman, also had a standout offensive game with several highlight reel plays en route to a career-high 18 points, but he was 0-for-8 from 3-point range. Meeks, Kentucky's usual long-range specialist, wasn't much better, hitting just two 3s in the first half and missing his other 10 tries. Miami was fighting to remain in the Top 25 after a home loss last week to Ohio State. Kentucky hasn't beaten a ranked opponent since topping Tennessee last January. Kentucky point guard Michael Porter, wearing a headband to cover up a laceration that required 10 stitches after his collision with teammate Ramon Harris, started the game but fouled out with only two points. Harris attended the game wearing a neck collar.

Devils (0-10) to 34 percent. Nobody had more of a resurgence than Meeks, who missed 10 of 12 3-point attempts Saturday in Kentucky's loss to No. 21 Miami. His shooting returned in a hurry as he made 8 of 12 shots from the floor and scored half of his points from long-range. Kentucky led 42-36 with 18 minutes left in the game after a 3-pointer by MVSU's Shannon Behling, but then the Wildcats went on a 17-1 run to erase any doubt. But it wasn't just Meeks' jump shots that were clicking for Kentucky. The Wildcats consistently got the ball inside to their big man, Patrick Patterson, who had his sixth double-double of the year, with 10 rebounds to go along with his 21 points. Perry Stevenson had a gamehigh 12 rebounds. During one play in the Wildcats' second half run, freshman DeAndre Liggins hit Patterson with a crisp pass through several defenders, setting up the easy bucket. Liggins led the team with five assists to go along with his 10 points. The Wildcats wore black uniforms with the name Keightley on the back, a tribute to their longtime equipment manager Bill Keightley who died of a brain tumor this year. At halftime, a Keightley uniform bearing the number 48 – representing the 48 years the man affectionately known as "Mr. Wildcat" spent on the Kentucky bench – was lifted to the Rupp Arena rafters. A 3-pointer by Shannon Behling pulled the Delta Devils to within 3028 with three minutes to go before halftime. Behling led the Delta Devils with 20 points and 7 rebounds. Kentucky quickly padded the lead by scoring the next nine points, seven by Meeks within the span of 30 seconds. After sinking two free throws, Meeks scored from the lane off a steal, then hit his second 3pointer to put the Wildcats up by 11. Junior college transfer Kevin Galloway made the first start of his Kentucky career, and freshman Landon Slone saw his first significant playing time and first points – two 3-pointers in the first half.

Appalachian State 69 Kentucky 93 LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Jodie Meeks scored a career-high 46 points as Kentucky blew out Appalachian State 93-69 on Saturday. Meeks did it all, making 14-of-21 field goals, including 9-of-14 3pointers and hitting 9-of-10 free throws as the Wildcats (8-3) won for the eighth time in nine games. Meeks’ total was the most by a Kentucky player since Dan Issel scored 47 against Alabama in ‘70. Patrick Patterson added 19 points and seven rebounds for UK. Kellen Brand had 16 points and Ryann Abraham added 14 points for Appalachian State (4-4), but the Mountaineers shot just 33 percent from the field and had no answer for Meeks. Meeks outscored the Mountaineers by himself in the first half, pouring in 24 points as the Wildcats took a 53-21 lead at the break. The only suspense over the final 20 minutes would be whether Meeks would become the fourth Kentucky player in the program’s long history to top 50 points. He gave it a shot but tired late before departing to a standing ovation with less than a minute to go. Working off screens for jumpers, driving through the lane, getting out on the break, Meeks appeared to be all the way back from a series of health problems that plagued his sophomore season. Meeks got started early, hitting a 3-pointer during Kentucky’s gameopening 10-0 run. The Mountaineers managed to cut the deficit to six before the Wildcats put together a 15-0 burst midway through the first half to give themselves enough cushion. Kentucky went nearly 10 minutes without turning it over. The game was the first of two visits by Kentucky to Freedom Hall, the home of archrival Louisville. Meeks certainly looked comfortable in enemy territory as the Wildcats played with the kind of urgency coach Billy Gillispie was looking for against Appalachian State’s up-tempo attack. The Mountaineers came in averaging 80 points a game but couldn’t get it going against the bigger, stronger Wildcats. Appalachian State tried to pound the ball inside early but missed its first eight shots. Kentucky forward Ramon Harris scored four points had two rebounds in nine minutes in his first game since being hospitalized with a neck injury on Dec. 3.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - So much for slow starts. Kentucky cured its earlygame ills in a flash Saturday and, in the process, got a little vengeance for last year’s thumping by interstate rival Indiana. All week, Wildcats coach Billy Gillispie had preached the idea of showing more energy out of the gate, considering two of Kentucky’s three losses were the result of sluggish starts in which a ferocious comeback fell short. This time, Kentucky got off to a 14-0 lead, and it was the Hoosiers who were forced to play catch up. They never did. Josh Harrellson scored 15 points off the bench to lead four other Wildcat players in double-digits as Kentucky dominated Indiana 72-54 Saturday in the annual interstate rivalry between the two storied but struggling programs. Kentucky (7-3) won for the 29th time in 52 meetings between the two schools, and the Wildcats increased their record to 7-1 against the Hoosiers (5-5) at Rupp Arena. The game traditionally had been played at a neutral site, either Indianapolis or Louisville, but that changed two years ago due to a scheduling conflict. The Wildcats overwhelmed the Hoosiers from the opening tip, scoring the first 14 points of the game—all from the paint, including four dunks. Kentucky stretched the lead to 32-6 with 8 minutes to go before halftime after back-to-back 3-pointers by Meeks and Harrellson. The Hoosiers, known for their own second half comebacks this season that fell short, were able to shave Kentucky’s lead somewhat. Two free throws by Verdell Jones made it 41-26 midway through the second half, and a flurry of fouls and fastbreaks at the end provided the final margin. Five Kentucky scorers accounted for all but 12 of the points. Joining Harrellson in double-digits were Jodie Meeks (13), Patterson (12), DeAndre Liggins (10) and Perry Stevenson (10). Stevenson also led the Wildcats with 9 rebounds and 6 blocks, the most by a Kentucky player since he accomplished the feat last season. While both teams were turnover-prone in the first half, combining for 36, the mistakes were lethal to the Hoosiers but barely fazed the Wildcats. Kentucky turned Indiana’s 15 first half turnovers into 10 points, while the Hoosiers had nothing to show for Kentucky’s 11 turnovers. Indiana made just 37 percent of its shots—and just 23 percent in the first half. It made just 4 of 20 3-point attempts and didn’t get a single free throw attempt in the first half. The Wildcats led 36-13 at the break.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Patterson scored a career-high 33 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Meeks had 32 points and six boards as Kentucky dominated the overmatched Tigers 102-58 on Monday for its fourth straight victory. Patterson, who entered the game making a remarkable 68 percent of his shots, improved upon that number against Tennessee State. Patterson made 15-of-17 field goals — almost all of them lay-ups or dunks — and hit all three of his free throws for Kentucky (9-3). Meeks, coming off a 46-point performance in a win over Appalachian State on Saturday, followed it up with a scintillating first half. He outscored the Tigers 27-24 in the first half, the second straight game he’s beaten the competition by his lonesome in the opening 20 minutes. Gerald Robinson had 25 points for the Tigers (3-7), who shot just 32.2 percent (19 of 59) and struggled to stop Meeks. Meeks’ performance was his fourth 30-point game of the season. He appeared to be on his way to duplicating record-setting performance over Appalachian State before Patterson got hot in the second half. Kentucky opened the game with a 15-0 run as Tennessee State missed its first seven shots. The Wildcats had no such problems. Meeks scored 17 points during a scorching four-minute stretch to close the half, knocking down three straight 3-pointers in the process. He finished the half with seven 3s, tying a school record held by Tayshuan Prince and Derrick Miller. The Wildcats led 59-24 at the break and Meeks quickly knocked down a 3-pointer to pull within one of the school record for 3s in a game, a mark he tied against Appalachian State. He finished 10-of-19 from the field, including 8-of-15 3-pointers. While the Tigers stretched the defense to shut down Meeks, the middle opened up for Patterson. Working hard to create space in the lane, Patterson called for the ball and his teammates made sure the sophomore got it. Patterson did a little bit of everything, adding a couple of assists and two blocks. He finished his night in spectacular fashion, getting out for a

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Patrick Patterson had 27 points and 14 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season and Kentucky held off persistent Florida Atlantic 76-69 Saturday afternoon. While the post-holiday Kentucky offense hardly resembled the one that averaged 89 points the previous four games, nor did its defense give Florida Atlantic many extra chances. The Wildcats committed a seasonlow seven turnovers and allowed only seven second-chance points. On a day when shooting star Jodie Meeks wasn't connecting from long range, Patterson and to a lesser degree fellow big man Perry Stevenson off the bench took matters into their own hands underneath the basket. The Wildcats (10-3) dominated points in the paint, 48-24. Patterson, who came into the game with the best shooting percentage in the Southeastern Conference at 71.1 percent, added to that by making 12 of 16 shots from the floor and all three free throws. After the Owls (4-9) cut the lead to 68-66 on two free throws with under 3 minutes to go, Patterson scored the next four points to ice the victory. The seesaw game featured nine ties and 19 lead changes. Stevenson chipped in 10 points, all in the second half. Meeks finished with a quiet 18 points, missing four of six 3-point attempts. Kentucky's victory came despite a career-best performance by Florida Atlantic's senior guard Paul Graham, who led all scorers with 31 points. A jumper by Graham with 15 minutes left gave the Owls their largest

The victory gives the Wildcats plenty of momentum heading into the annual Dream Game against the Cardinals. Kentucky has won 11 of 12, most of them looking an awful lot like their dismantling of the Chippewas. Central Michigan took control early and led by as much as nine as Kentucky's unconventional starting lineup - a unit that included guards Meeks, Michael Porter and DeAndre Liggins - struggled to get any rhythm. Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie quickly went to the bench and summoned Slone, a schoolboy star from Paintsville, Ky. - about two hours east of Rupp Arena - who is rapidly becoming a folk hero. Slone showed off something else against the Chippewas: a deft shooting touch. He hit a 3-pointer and followed it up with a little pullup jumper in the lane that got the Wildcats going. A couple of possessions later, he hit the deck diving for a loose ball and got elbowed while pulling in one of his five rebounds - two less than he had in his previous eight games combined. As Kentucky and Slone surged, the Chippewas slumped after a hot start. A Robbie Harman jumper gave Central Michigan a 17-15 lead with 11:03 remaining in the first half. It would be the last time the Chippewas actually put the ball through the cylinder for more than 16 minutes. Central Michigan managed just six free throws and a basket on a generous goaltending call for the rest of the half as Kentucky raced to a 42-23 halftime lead. Central Michigan wouldn't get much closer, as Kentucky continued to amp up the pressure and ride Meeks' hot hand.
lead at 51-46, but Kentucky seemed to awaken from its post-holiday slumber behind Patterson and Stevenson. They accounted for eight points in a 10-0 Kentucky run that put the Wildcats ahead for good. After Patterson's second-chance layup, Stevenson slammed home two dunks within 30 seconds. One was set up by a crisp crosscourt pass from DeAndre Liggins, the other resulting from a fierce block by Patterson at the other end. By the time Mike Jarvis could call timeout, the Wildcats led 52-51. They wouldn't stop there, stretching the lead to eight on Stevenson's layup in traffic with 7 minutes to go. The first half was an entirely different story. Meeks and Patterson combined for Kentucky's first 17 points, and no other Wildcat got on the board until Liggins' bucket 10 minutes in. Largely outplayed throughout the first half, Kentucky needed a block at the buzzer to head to the locker room tied at 37. After starting the season with consecutive losses to VMI and North Carolina, the Wildcats have won 10 of their last 11. Florida Atlantic continued its slide, losing for the eighth time in nine games.

Freshman walk-on Landon Slone starred off the bench for the second straight game, scoring eight points to bring the Wildcats (11-3) to life after a dismal start. Slone's energy sparked a 36-8 surge to end the first half as Kentucky held the Chippewas (3-9) without a field goal for more than 10 minutes. Jacolby Hardiman led Central Michigan with 12 points and Marcus Van added 11 points and eight boards but the Chippewas shot just 31 percent from the field (18 of 58) and had no answers when the Wildcats turned up the pressure.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- In the midst of a season on the verge of spinning out of control, Louisville coach Rick Pitino told enigmatic point guard Edgar Sosa maybe it would be best if the talented but troubled junior got a fresh start somewhere else. Sosa told Pitino he just needed one more last chance in a career full of last chances. On Sunday, he backed it up with the biggest shot of his life. Sosa's 30-footer with 2.8 seconds remaining lifted the 18th-ranked Cardinals to a 74-71 victory over archrival Kentucky. Kentucky (11-4) nearly sent the Cardinals out of the polls entirely after a miraculous rally in the final 51 seconds. Louisville seemed in control after Sosa made two free throws to give the Cardinals a 71-64 lead. Kentucky's Jodie Meeks scored seven straight points on five free throws and a layup - thanks to two careless turnovers by Louisville's Earl Clark - to tie the game at 71 with 23 seconds left. The Cardinals inbounded to Sosa, who dribbled calmly over halfcourt and waited for the clock to wind down. When it got to 6 seconds, he took two dribbles toward the basket and pulled up over Kentucky's Michael Porter. The shot was good all the way as Freedom Hall erupted. Porter's last-second heave from 40 feet was off the mark, letting Louisville escape with its first home win over the Wildcats since 2002. Meeks led the Wildcats with 28 points and Patrick Patterson added 22 points and 15 rebounds, but Kentucky had its six-game winning streak snapped thanks to a familiar culprit: turnovers. The Wildcats, who were averaging 18.2 turnovers a game, gave it away 21 times, including six by Meeks. The Cardinals used a 12-0 run, including a three-point play by Sosa, to go ahead 54-43. Williams hit a 3-pointer moments later to push it to 57-45 with 13:06 left. Williams finished with 19 points and eight rebounds, Smith had 11 points, two assists and two blocks and Earl Clark added 10 points and eight rebounds as the Cardinals used their depth to offset Kentucky's two stars. Patterson dominated his matchup with Louisville freshman center Samardo Samuels, who managed four points and a rebound in 11 foulplagued minutes. The Wildcats, however, were hardly taking solace in getting close. They were hoping a win over the Cardinals would signify their rise in Gillispie's second year. It'll have to wait until Southeastern Conference play starts on Saturday against Vanderbilt.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- In Gillispie's eyes, his team doesn't need three options, it needs 20, though he'd settle for five. Judging by Kentucky's 70-60 win against undermanned Vanderbilt on Saturday, Gillispie may finally have some volunteers. While Meeks led the way with 21 points, it was the performance of Kentucky's role players that gave the Wildcats (12-4, 1-0 SEC) a muchneeded momentum boost heading into a showdown with No. 15 Tennessee on Tuesday. Ramon Harris had 12 points and seven rebounds while making all five of his shots, Perry Stevenson added 10 points and Kentucky overcame a foul-troubled performance by Patterson (11 points, a season-low one rebound) to snap Vanderbilt's six-game winning streak. Against the Commodores (11-4, 0-1), those roles included picking up the slack for Patterson - who faced constant double-teams - and not letting up even though Vanderbilt played without leading scorer and rebounder A.J. Ogilvy, who watched from the bench after being injured in practice on Friday. Jermaine Beal led Vanderbilt with 18 points and Jeffery Taylor had 15 points and 11 rebounds, but the Commodores shot just 31.6 percent (18 of 57) and turned it over 15 times. Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings refused to place blame for the loss on Ogilvy's absence, though the Commodores had little inside presence without the 6-foot-11 Ogilvy. Vanderbilt was outscored in the paint 32-20 and had seven shots blocked. Maybe, but the Commodores could have used him during Kentucky's 21-4 burst early in the second half that helped the Wildcats break it open. Meeks helped get it started by banking in a 3-pointer and Harris finished it with a putback that gave Kentucky a 55-35 lead. The Commodores got as close as six in the final minute, but Kentucky made its free throws to avoid a late-game collapse. The Commodores entered the game second in the county in field goal percentage, allowing opponents to shoot just 35.6 percent from the floor. The Wildcats, however, had little trouble getting good shots despite an off night by Patterson. Kentucky shot 44 percent (24 of 55) from the floor and became just the second school all year to reach 70 points against the Commodores. Kentucky trailed by as many as seven early before a 12-2 run over the last five minutes of the first half gave the Wildcats a 31-27 lead at the break. Kentucky made the surge without Patterson, who sat the last 10 minutes of the half after picking up his second foul. The teams split the two meetings last year, with each club winning on its home floor. Vanderbilt, meanwhile, hopes Ogilvy is ready when the Commodores host Georgia on Wednesday.

But Meeks, who also went a perfect 14-for-14 from the free-throw line, scored nine straight points to put the game away. No other Kentucky player scored in double figures. Patrick Patterson grabbed 12 rebounds. With two 3-pointers and a fast break layup by Meeks, Kentucky used a 12-0 run to grab a 28-20 lead with 7:27 in the first half. Meeks had 26 points in the first half, including going 5-for-7 from behind the arc.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Jodie Meeks was just trying to get a victory. He didn't fathom having a chance at earning a spot among Kentucky's greatest players. Meeks scored a school-record 54 points to help Kentucky cruise to a 90-72 win over No. 24 Tennessee on Tuesday night. "It means a lot to be in the same sentence as Dan Issel. It's mindboggling," he said. "I was just out there playing to win." Meeks, who broke Issel's 39-year-old record of 53 points set at Ole Miss, was mobbed by his Kentucky teammates in the middle of the Thompson-Boling Arena court, where the Wildcats (13-4, 2-0 SEC) handed the Volunteers their third loss in January. The Southeastern Conference's leading scorer surpassed his previous high of 46 points, which he set Dec. 20 against Appalachian State, with 4:50 left as he hit an open 3, one of 10 3-pointers he would make for the night. He set the record with free throws with 1:31 left. Meeks entered the game ranked fourth in the nation in scoring with an average 24.2 points per game. "I have never seen anything like it," Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie said. "Jodie Meeks had 46 against Appalachian State, and they are a nice team, but not near a team the quality of Tennessee and on the home court." The 54 points was also the biggest individual SEC performance since Chris Jackson's 55 for LSU against Mississippi in 1989. "There have been so many great players - this is the greatest basketball tradition in the world at the collegiate level - and to be able to put your name up there with some of those greats is quite an accomplishment," Gillispie said. Down by 6 at the half, Tennessee (10-5, 1-1) cut Kentucky's lead to 43-41 on a fastbreak basket by Wayne Chism a minute and a half into the second half. But the Vols' spotty defense couldn't contain Meeks, who hit a layup and two 3-pointers to help the Wildcats on a 10-0 run that gave them a 53-41 lead. "Defensively we tried to guard him as a team," Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said. "We didn't have any one guy on him, but none of our guards could guard him." Kentucky began stumbling into foul trouble with 9:34 left, and Tennessee - which to that point had shot 35 percent from the free-throw line - sank 11 straight bonus shots to cut the Wildcats' lead to 71-64 with 6:52 left.

ATHENS, Ga. -- Kentucky didn't need another record performance from Jodie Meeks to take another SEC road win. Meeks scored 22 points in his return to his home state and Kentucky never trailed in coasting to a 68-45 win over Georgia on Sunday. Meeks, from Norcross, Ga., didn't come close to matching his school-record 54 points in Kentucky's win at No. 24 Tennessee on Tuesday night. Meeks left the game with 5:14 remaining and the Wildcats leading 62-36. Patrick Patterson added 15 points and four of Kentucky's 11 blocked shots. Perry Stevenson had 13 points. Kentucky (14-4, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) has won three straight and 9 of 10 as it makes its bid to move into the Top 25 on Monday for the first time this season. Georgia (9-9, 0-3) suffered its fifth straight loss. Terrance Woodbury led the Bulldogs with eight points while making only 4 of 14 shots from the field. Freshmen Dustin Ware and Trey Thompkins each had seven points. Georgia made only 2 of its first 13 shots as Kentucky pushed its lead to double figures in the first 10 minutes. Despite making only 8 of 31 shots in the first half, Georgia managed only five second-chance points. Kentucky had 17 defensive rebounds in the half, compared with only 14 total rebounds for Georgia, and took advantage of that statistic by making high-percentage shots near the basket. Kentucky finished with a 34-24 advantage in points scored in the paint. The Wildcats increased their all-time record against Georgia to 11023, including a 38-15 record in Athens.

The Tigers would get no closer than six the rest of the way. Meeks, playing his first home game since pouring in a school-record 54 points in a win over Tennessee last week, received a rousing ovation while being introduced. He got the crowd on its feet again moments later, hitting a 3-pointer one minute into the game. Over the last two weeks, that's been enough to send the Wildcats off to the races. The Tigers, however, were hardly impressed. Auburn hung around the entire first half, thanks in part to the turnover-prone Wildcats. Kentucky gave it away 13 times in the first half and needed a spectacular play by Patterson in the final seconds in the half to lead 3433 at the break. Patterson blocked a shot attempt by Reed with 5 seconds left, then dribbled up the floor before hitting a streaking Ramon Harris for a layup at the horn.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Jodie Meeks and Patrick Patterson did it again. Meeks scored 32 points and Patterson added 21 points and a career-high 18 rebounds to lead sloppy Kentucky to a 73-64 victory over Auburn on Wednesday night. The stars combined for 10 points during a decisive 12-0 run late in the second half as the Wildcats overcame 22 turnovers to beat the Tigers for the 10th straight time. Perry Stevenson had 12 points and 12 rebounds for Kentucky, which moved into first-place in the SEC after No. 24 Florida and Mississippi State both lost earlier in the day. DeWayne Reed led Auburn with 22 points and Rasheem Barrett added a career-high 17 for the Tigers, who were outscored 26-2 at the free-throw line. Patterson had been mired in a mini-slump since the Wildcats began conference play. A minor injury to his right hand hasn't helped. He played with his middle and ring fingers taped and appeared to struggle early holding onto the ball. Whatever was bothering him, Patterson got over it midway through the second half with the Wildcats trailing 51-48. Stevenson got gameturning run going with a dunk, then Patterson followed with a nifty catch in the lane off a lob from Michael Porter, and hit a little hook shot while getting fouled. He made the free throw, then blocked Auburn's Korvotney Barber at the other end. Meeks was fouled while shooting a 3-pointer, and made all three free throws to put the Wildcats up 56-51. Meeks got free for a dunk on Kentucky's next trip, and Patterson later added a short jumper in the lane to push Kentucky's lead to 60-51 with 4:35 remaining.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The Kentucky Wildcats returned for the second half without starting guard Ramon Harris and their coach. They still had Jodie Meeks and Perry Stevenson, which was more than enough. Meeks scored 16 of his 27 points in the second half and Stevenson added 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead Kentucky to a 61-51 comeback victory over Alabama on Saturday that only came after a halftime scare. The Wildcats (16-4, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) overcame a sixpoint halftime deficit and the collapse of Harris outside the locker room before the second half started. Harris was taken to a nearby hospital and Gillispie said the report immediately after the game was that his vital signs were strong. Harris had missed five games with a back and neck injury sustained in a collision with a teammate on Dec. 3 against Lamar, but had played significant minutes in the last five games.

The incident caused a delay to start the second half, and Gillispie missed the beginning to remain with Harris. Meeks continued his scoring tear to help Kentucky overcome that scare and an off game by Patrick Patterson, remaining the league's only team without an SEC loss. Patterson returned after a long absence due to foul trouble and quickly hit a pair of baskets to start an 8-0 run and give Kentucky a 55-47 lead with 3:36 left. Alabama (12-7, 2-3) couldn't come closer than six points after that and missed 5-of-6 free throws down the stretch. DeAndre Liggins scored 11 for the Wildcats off the bench. The Wildcats held Alabama to 29 percent shooting. JaMychal Green led the Tide with 15 points, but guards Alonzo Gee (eight points), Senario Hillman (nine) and Mikhail Torrance (zero) were a combined 6of-30 shooting and got few open looks. Torrance had averaged nearly 23 points over the last three games since replacing injured point guard Ronald Steele, who announced Tuesday that he was leaving the team. He missed all eight attempts from the floor. Meeks took care of much of his team's scoring, including 18 of Kentucky's first 28 points extending into the second half. The nation's No. 3 scorer, he made 10-of-18 shots and had nine rebounds. The rest of his team was just 9-of-31. He also made all but one of the Wildcats' four 3-pointers. The 27 points didn't seem so bad considering Meeks had twice that many three games earlier at Tennessee. Patterson picked up three quick fouls in the first four minutes after halftime, but Alabama couldn't take advantage of his time on the bench to keep the lead. He finished with six points and five rebounds in 27 minutes. Alabama did manage to hold Kentucky to 38.8 percent shooting, well below its 51 percent average that ranked No. 2 nationally.

OXFORD, Miss. -- Terrico White and David Huertas each scored 21 points and Ole Miss upset No. 24 Kentucky 85-80 on Tuesday, snapping the Wildcats' five-game win streak a day after they entered the Top 25 for the first time this season. Neither Kentucky's Jodie Meeks nor Huertas - the Southeastern Conference's Nos. 1 and 3 scorers - managed a field goal in the first half. But Huertas hit a 3-pointer with 11 seconds gone in the second half and the injury-ravaged Rebels (11-9, 2-4 SEC) managed to overcome 24 points from Patrick Patterson for a rare win over the Wildcats (16-5, 5-1). The win snapped Ole Miss' current three-game losing streak and its nine-game slide to Kentucky, which had won 11 of 12 overall coming into the game. It was just the 12th win for the Rebels in 107 games against the Wildcats. The Rebels, without three of their best players due to season-ending knee injuries, managed one of their best defensive games of the season. The Wildcats were fourth in the nation with a shooting percentage of 50.2 percent per game, but struggled against Ole Miss' 2-3 zone and shot 34.3 percent (25-of-65). It was an especially difficult night for Meeks, the nation's No. 3 scorer coming in with 26.1 points per game. The Rebels held him without a field goal for the first 28:04 and he finished 4-for-15 fro the florr with 21 points. He had eight in the first half, all on free throws, after scoring in double figures in the first 20 minutes of nine of the Wildcats' last 10 games and 14 of 20. Huertas quickly got open on the left wing on the opening possession of the second half and buried a 3. That spurred Ole Miss to a 16-4 run to open the half that featured four 3-pointers. Graham's second 3 of the run put the Rebels up 53-43 and Kentucky never crept closer than three points after Meeks hit his first two field goals of the game to make it 5855 with 11:18 left. Malcolm White scored five points and Huertas hit another 3 during a quick 8-2 run to put the game out of reach. Ole Miss hit 10 of 26 3s in the game and outrebounded Kentucky 45-40. The Wildcats were just 7-of-28 from the 3-point line. Terrico White had an especially big game for the Rebels. The freshman finished a point shy of his career high, set one with seven assists and had five rebounds in 37 minutes despite being a game-time decision due to a bruised knee. Ole Miss led much of the first half, only succumbing to a quick 7-2 run by Kentucky to end the half with a 39-37 lead.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Pay no attention to the Devan Downey of the first half. South Carolina's star was ready when it counted. Downey's turnaround jumper with 3 seconds left lifted the Gamecocks to a 78-77 victory over No. 24 Kentucky on Saturday, just their second win in 23 games on Kentucky's home court. The junior guard had been largely quiet throughout most of the game, failing to score until the final 2 minutes of the first half. But he awoke in a hurry down the stretch, scoring all but four of his 23 points in the second half, including the critical basket over Kentucky's Jodie Meeks that sealed the win. South Carolina coach Darrin Horn, appearing in a college game in his native Lexington for the first time as a head coach, said he had no hesitation turning to his team's leading scorer at the critical moment. Meeks got one last shot - a desperation heave from just in front of the halfcourt line, but it bounced off the rim as time expired. Based on the crowd noise, it would have seemed Kentucky was pulling away down the stretch as the Wildcats scored on four straight possessions with dunks. But Downey answered two of those baskets with 3-pointers, never allowing UK to pad its lead. Trailing 77-76 with 30 seconds left, South Carolina fouled Perry Stevenson to stop the clock. It proved to be the perfect move as Stevenson missed both foul shots to set up Downey's late heroics. Before that, it appeared the focus of the game was going to be Meeks' highlight-reel one-handed dunk above two defenders off a perfect lane pass from Patrick Patterson, who also had one of the late Kentucky dunks. Patterson finished with 28 points and Meeks had 20 for the Wildcats. Zam Fredrick led South Carolina with 24 points, half of them during a thunderous scoring streak in the first half. The last two points of his streak were free throws after a technical foul was issued when Stevenson was called for fouling Mike Holmes. Holmes would hit one of the ensuing shots, stretching the Gamecocks' lead to nine. The technical foul seemed to awaken Kentucky, at least temporarily. Ramon Harris scored on a fastbreak dunk, followed by two layups from Patterson. Freshman DeAndre Liggins finished the half by beating the buzzer with a closely guarded 3 that put the Wildcats up 37-36. Kentucky stretched the lead to 10 in the second half before Downey caught fire to pull the Gamecocks back in it. Kentucky did shoot far better than the Gamecocks, making 52 percent of its shots compared to 42 percent for South Carolina. But the Wildcats weren't as strong from long range, connecting on three, two by Meeks, of eight attempts. Fredrick and Downey combined on seven 3s for South Carolina.

Rupp Arena (21,940) Lexington, Ky. • Feb. 3, 2009
Mississippi State 66 Kentucky 57 LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Phil Turner scored a career-high 18 points to lead four Mississippi State players in double figures as the Bulldogs handed Kentucky its third straight loss, 66-57, on Tuesday. Ravern Johnson added 17 points, Barry Stewart scored 13 and Dee Bost had 10 points and four assists as the Bulldogs (15-7, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) won at Rupp Arena for the first time in 14 years. Jodie Meeks scored 15 points and Patrick Patterson added 15 points and nine rebounds for the Wildcats (16-7, 5-3), who never led and struggled to find offensive rhythm against Mississippi State's quick four-guard lineup and center Jarvis Varnado. The reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year shook off foul trouble to finish with six points, 12 rebounds and seven blocks as the Bulldogs held Kentucky to 36 percent shooting from the floor. The victory was Mississippi State's third straight over Kentucky, but its first at Rupp Arena since 1995. Kentucky trailed by 13 points early in the second half before closing to 45-42 on a dunk by Perry Stevenson with more than 10 minutes left. Varnado responded with a dunk off a nifty feed from Bost. The teams exchanged 3s before Bost hit a layup and followed with a deep 3pointer to push the lead to 55-45 with 5:45 remaining. The Wildcats came up empty on their next two possessions, and Turner and Johnson drilled two more 3-pointers to push the lead to 61-45 with 3:05 to play to send the fans streaming into the chilly February night. Mississippi State reserve forwards Brian Johnson and Elgin Bailey returned from a one-game suspension for curfew violations, but did little to give Varnado any help, combining for one rebound and three missed shots. Not that Varnado needed help patrolling the lane. Using his massive wingspan to get his hands on seven shots while altering several others, Varnado was all the inside presence the Bulldogs needed. Mississippi State's four guards took care of the rest. The Bulldogs made 14-of-27 3-pointers (51 percent), needing little room to get free. Whenever they were matched up with a taller defender, Turner and company simply took a step back and knocked it down. The Bulldogs scored the game's first eight points and took a 37-24 halftime lead despite playing the last 7:20 without Varnado, who made his way to the end of the bench after picking up his second foul. Mississippi State finished the half with a 14-5 run punctuated by four 3pointers, including back-to-back 3s by Johnson.

For most of the game, Meeks hardly resembled the scorer who set a Kentucky single-game record with 54 points against Tennessee last month. He made just 3 of 10 3-pointers in this contest. Less-heralded guard Michael Porter needed just four attempts to match that total, and even the one he missed was productive as Perry Stevenson grabbed the rebound and dunked it home, giving the Wildcats a 48-47 lead. After Meeks banked in a 3-pointer to cut an eight-point Florida lead to 14-9, Meeks and Patterson didn't score from the floor again before halftime. Patterson's free throw with 2 minutes left was his lone point of the half. Yet the Wildcats gained ground on the Gators by getting the next 19 points from the floor from a less-heralded combination of Porter, Stevenson, Josh Harrellson and Kevin Galloway. Harrellson (11), Stevenson (10) and Porter (9) trailed Meeks in scoring, and Galloway led the team with a career-high nine assists. Florida senior guard Walter Hodge was ejected after being called for a flagrant foul on Stevenson.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- After a milestone scoring night, Florida guard Nick Calathes was reduced to apologizing for a shot he didn't quite block and the free throws he didn't quite make. Jodie Meeks nailed a 3-pointer to break a tie with under five seconds left as the Wildcats snapped a three-game losing streak with a critical 68-65 victory over Florida Tuesday night. The shot was particularly clutch because not only was Calathes hovering over him, but he also got a hand on the ball before Meeks readjusted, fired and swished it in. The loss spoiled a huge night for Calathes, who scored a careerhigh 33 points and joined the career 1,000-point club - the eighth-fastest Gator to do so. Florida got an opportunity to tie when Kentucky's Kevin Galloway fouled Calathes while trying a last-second desperation heave. But Calathes missed all three shots, the last one intentionally, as Kentucky held on. Kentucky (17-7, 6-3) pulled into a tie with Florida (19-5, 6-3) atop the SEC East, and avoided matching the second-longest conference losing streak in school history. While Meeks put the Wildcats on his back at the end, a balanced offense was needed to outlast Calathes' scoring barrage. That was particularly so midway through the second half, when Kentucky's other star, center Patrick Patterson, got tripped up during a rebound attempt and was slammed to the floor. He stayed there for more than two minutes before limping off with an apparent leg injury that would sideline him for the rest of the game. X-rays afterward showed a sprained right ankle, and Patterson was listed as day-to-day.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Jodie Meeks scored 45 points, setting a Bud Walton Arena record and leading short-handed Kentucky to an easy 7963 win over Arkansas on Saturday. Meeks scored 22 points in the first half and 23 in the second, capping his spectacular performance with a two-handed dunk with just over a minute to play. He helped the Wildcats (18-7, 7-3 Southeastern Conference) withstand the absence of center Patrick Patterson, who sprained an ankle in Tuesday night's win over Florida. The rebuilding Razorbacks (13-10, 1-9) were without suspended point guard Courtney Fortson. Michael Washington and Stefan Welsh scored 14 points each for Arkansas. Meeks went 17-of-24 from the field and 7-of-12 from 3-point range, breaking the 40-point mark for the third time this season.

The Commodores took control of a game tied at 30 at halftime by scoring the first nine points of the second half. Kentucky got within 4541 on a pair of Stewart free throws with 12:40 left. Goulbourne hit a 3-pointer, and he later gave the Commodores their biggest lead at 60-44 with a 3 from the right corner that brought a huge roar from the sellout crowd. Kentucky could only close within nine down the stretch three times, the last on a Meeks 3. Beal answered with two free throws with 2:53 left to push the lead back to double digits, sealing the victory. Beal was a perfect 10-of-10 at the line where Vandy was 32-of-40. Vandy shot poorly in the first half but went to halftime tied at 30 after hitting 15 of 18 at the free throw line. It was a physical and messy first half in which the score was tied seven times and swapped six others. The Commodores led 16-10 when Beal sunk a pair of free throws after referee Tony Greene called a technical on Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie before a free throw attempt with 12:07 to go. That only sparked the Wildcats, who went on a 14-2 spurt. The run was capped by a pair of free throws by Meeks after a technical on Ogilvy for a forearm to DeAndre Liggins as he drove into the lane. Ogilvy answered with four straight free throws to tie it again at 24.
The junior scored the Wildcats' first seven points, then added a 3pointer that made it 16-10 and put him over 1,000 points for his career. Moments later, he made a 3-pointer while being fouled for a rare 4point play. Later in the half, he scored another unusual basket, making a layup on a breakaway despite being wrapped up by Arkansas' Marcus Britt. The basket counted, and Britt was called for an intentional foul, giving Kentucky two shots and the ball. Meeks, who scored 54 points at Tennessee last month, made one of two, and Ramon Harris added a basket inside, giving the Wildcats five points on the possession and a 37-22 lead. It was 40-29 at halftime. Meeks made a pair of 3-pointers early in the second half to give the Wildcats a 47-31 lead. He reached 40 points when Arkansas' Michael Washington goaltended his shot with 3:25 left. The Razorbacks' Al Dillard set the previous arena record of 39 in 1993, the year the venue opened.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Jermaine Beal and Lance Goulbourne each scored 17 points as Vanderbilt routed Kentucky 77-64 Tuesday night, handing the Wildcats their fourth loss in six games. Kentucky (18-8, 7-4) came in part of a three-way tie atop the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division with two straight wins. But the Wildcats played a second straight game without sophomore center Patrick Patterson because of a sprained ankle, and his teammates didn't give enough help to Jodie Meeks, the nation's fourthleading scorer averaging 25.8 points a game. Meeks scored 26. A.J. Stewart added 11 off the bench before fouling out. Vanderbilt (16-9, 5-6) now has won four of its last five. This series

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Tennessee found a way to slow down Jodie Meeks. It was the rest of the Wildcats that proved to be a problem. Patrick Patterson returned from an ankle injury to score 19 points and freshman Darius Miller added a career-high 17 points and six assists as the Wildcats dominated the Volunteers 77-58 on Saturday, sweeping the season series from the Volunteers to keep pace atop the crowded SEC East. Meeks, who had a school-record 54 points in a win at Knoxville last month, scored 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting. But the Wildcats didn't need him to be Superman this time. Kentucky never trailed and was never threatened for most of the second half as the Volunteers struggled by shooting 32 percent from the field (20-for-63), including 4-for-24 3-pointers. Scotty Hopson led Tennessee with 14 points and J.P Prince added 11 points and six rebounds but couldn't stop the Volunteers from losing their second straight and placing their NCAA tournament hopes very much in peril. After watching Meeks light up the the Volunteers a month ago, Pearl wasn't about to let it happen again. He left it up to Bobby Maze and Josh Tabb to keep an eye on the third-leading scorer. It worked. Meeks was never able to get free, as Maze and Tabb picked him up the second he stepped across halfcourt. Meeks missed all seven of his 3-point attempts as the Volunteers dared the rest of the Wildcats to beat them. They did. Miller made all six of his field goal attempts and gave coach Billy Gillispie a glimpse of the player he signed a year ago. The Wildcats needed it with Meeks bottled up. Kentucky took control with a 15-4 run early in the second half, a burst in which Meeks managed just two points. Instead, it was the role players like Miller and Porter - who Gillispie had chastised for being too deferential to Meeks and Patterson - who finally stepped out of the shadows. Kentucky finished with 23 assists on 28 field goals. Patterson sat out a win over Arkansas and a loss to Vanderbilt while nursing a sprained right ankle. He looked just fine against the Volunteers, making 9-of-12 field goals and providing the kind of stabilizing presence they sorely missed.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Devin Downey skipped down the court. His 3pointer had just put So. Carolina up 28 points on Kentucky midway through the second half, and his team was about to vault alone into first in the SEC East for the first time in February in 12 years. The Gamecocks' special season continued on Wednesday night with a 77-59 win over Kentucky. South Carolina left little doubt it's an NCAA tournament team, winning the biggest game in Columbia since the program's only SEC East title in 1997. South Carolina (20-6, 9-4) set a school record with 16 blocked shots, forced 20 turnovers, never trailed and led by at least 18 points for the entire second half in just its ninth win over Kentucky (19-9, 8-5) in 50 games between the teams. Downey may be So. Carolina's SEC player of the year candidate, and he showed his versatility with five steals and five assists. But he received plenty of help, especially from Muldrow, who South Carolina coach Darrin Horn challenged before the game. Muldrow responded with eight points, 10 rebounds and seven blocks. Zam Fredrick added 15 for the Gamecocks. South Carolina swarmed Kentucky inside, and Patrick Patterson called it the most frustrating game he has ever had. He scored 28 points and had 12 rebounds, but had his shot blocked eight times and shot 10 of 24, almost all on shots within five feet of the basket. Kentucky's Jodie Meeks, battling with Downey for SEC player of the year honors, scored 18 points, playing sparingly once the game got out of hand. Leading by 23 with less than 10 minutes to go, the 5-foot-9 Downey swooped between three defenders and hit a high-arching layup to put South Carolina ahead 68-43. On the next possession, Muldrow and Mike Holmes had back-toback blocks as Kentucky tried to push the ball inside, and then Downey buried a 3 to give the Gamecocks their biggest lead at 71-43 with 9 minutes to go. The Wildcats have little time to regroup. They need at least a couple more wins to feel comfortable on Selection Sunday, and finish with SEC leader LSU, Florida - a team also battling for an NCAA bid - and Georgia. The road is much easier for South Carolina, which heads to Vanderbilt on Saturday, then finishes with Tennessee and Georgia. Gamecocks fans haven't been this excited since 1997, when they won the SEC with a 15-1 league record. That team was the only other one to sweep Kentucky.

Kentucky shot 54 percent from the floor -- including a remarkable 61 percent in the second half -- but couldn't slow down Thornton when it mattered. They're the kind of mistakes Gillispie could tolerate as growing pains in December. Not in February. Now the Wildcats head into March likely needing wins against Georgia and Florida and maybe even a victory in the SEC tournament to secure an NCAA tournament berth for the 18th straight year.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Marcus Thornton suffered in silence as LSU stumbled through a nightmarish 2007-08 season that ended up costing coach John Brady his job. So forgive Thornton if he couldn't help himself moments after the 18th-ranked Tigers capped their remarkable turnaround under new coach Trent Johnson with a dramatic 73-70 win over Kentucky on Saturday. Thornton threw the ball toward the rafters at stunned Rupp Arena when the final horn sounded and screamed while hopping toward his jubilant teammates as LSU celebrated winning the Southeastern Conference title outright in style. Tasmin Mitchell calmly drained a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 9.8 seconds remaining as the Tigers (25-4, 13-1) won their 10th straight and put a severe dent in Kentucky's NCAA tournament hopes. The victory was LSU's first at Kentucky in 20 years, as Mitchell and company triumphed where former LSU stars Shaquille O'Neal and Glen Davis failed. It was a win that seemed in jeopardy after Kentucky's Darius Miller hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 70 with 27 seconds left. No biggie. Thornton worked the ball up the floor and got a pick from Mitchell. Kentucky's A.J. Stewart jumped out to help teammate Kevin Galloway cover Thornton, leaving Mitchell just enough room to knock down another big shot in a season full of them for the Tigers. Kentucky (19-10, 8-6) had one last chance to tie it, but Meeks badly missed a contested 3-pointer with 3 seconds left to send the Wildcats to their sixth loss in nine games. The Tigers needed that maturity after Kentucky rallied from 12 points down to take a 54-44 lead with 11 minutes left. Rather than panic, the Tigers simply turned to Thornton, who shook off a subpar first half to score 15 points down the stretch. Patrick Patterson led Kentucky with 28 points and Meeks added 24, but the SEC's leading scorer made just 1-of-9 3-pointers and turned it over five times.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The all-time winningest college basketball program is in serious risk of missing the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1991 after Georgia's 90-85 victory on Wednesday night at Rupp Arena. Georgia (12-18, 3-12 Southeastern Conference) won for just the fourth time in 32 meetings at Rupp Arena. The Bulldogs' last win against Kentucky (19-11, 8-7) came last year as one of their four victories en route to an SEC tournament title. On a night Kentucky honored Jared Carter, its lone senior, in pregame ceremonies, it was Georgia's lone four-year senior, Terrance Woodbury, who spoiled the party. Woodbury had 30 points, two off his career-high, scoring the Bulldogs' first nine points, then following with clutch baskets down the stretch. Among them was his fourth 3-pointer of the game midway through the second half that helped halt a rally and hush the Rupp Arena crowd. Trey Thompkins had 19 points and 11 rebounds for his fourth career double-double. The Wildcats, down by 10 with less than seven minutes left, cut the

games - a slide that could keep the storied Southeastern Conference program out of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1991. Kentucky (18-12, 8-8 SEC) likely will have to win the conference tournament in Tampa next week to make the school's 18th consecutive NCAA tournament. Even with the win, the Gators (22-9, 9-7) could end up in the NIT for the second straight year, but they certainly improved their chances of getting back to the NCAA tournament. Florida still might need to win a couple of games in the SEC tournament. Ervin Walker, though, might have made the biggest shots. The 5foot-7 guard hit two 3-pointers in the second and helped Florida close out the game with three free throws in the final two minutes. Nick Calathes, who scored a career-high 33 points in the first meeting, was 2-of-9 shooting and finished with five points and seven assists. Alex Tyus added 11 points. Patrick Patterson led the Wildcats with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Jodie Meeks added 15 points. Patterson and Meeks scored 23 of Kentucky's first 25 points, but weren't nearly as effective down the stretch. They finished 13-of-35 from the field. The Wildcats found a third scorer - a problem most of the season as Ramon Harris added 14 points. But the rest of the team managed just eight points. The Gators led by 12 points early in the second half, but the Wildcats got it to 51-46 on Harris' dunk with 5:30 remaining. But Kentucky turned the ball over too much and missed too many shots down the stretch. The Cats finished with 23 turnovers and shot 43 percent from the floor and were just 2-of-11 from behind the arc. The Gators got off to a strong start, making four of their first five shots and all three from 3-point range. They extended the lead to 18-8 on Walter Hodge's second 3-pointer with 12:20 remaining before halftime. Patrick Patterson had 14 points and nine rebounds at the half. He took an eyebrow-raising 16 shots in the first 20 minutes, most of them from point-blank range, but made only seven. Patterson and Meeks scored 20 of the Kentucky's 22 points in the first half, and the last basket was the most impressive. Following Ray Shipman's reverse layup that put the Gators ahead 2920 with about 8 seconds left in the half, Meeks pulled up from long range and hit the front of the rim. Patterson caught the rebound, and in the same motion, banked in a shot from the baseline just before the buzzer.
lead to 88-85 after Jodie Meeks nailed a 3 with one second to go. But they would get no closer as Georgia's Dustin Ware made two free throws. The disappointment for Kentucky came despite the team finding, at least for one night, a long-sought third scorer behind Meeks and Patrick Patterson. That turned out to be point guard Michael Porter, who set career highs with 15 points and five 3-pointers. One of his long-range misses, however, was a critical airball down the stretch. Meeks led the Wildcats with 23 points, scoring all but three of his points in the second half. Patterson had 14. Georgia made 50 percent of its shots and outrebounded the Wildcats 38-27. Kentucky also had 16 steals and 14 blocked shots, but the clutch points almost always went to Georgia. With the Wildcats down 53-51, Georgia took the lead for good by scoring the next 10 points, including back-to-back 3-pointers by Butler and Thompkins. Before that, momentum had swung to the Wildcats, whose 16-2 run in the first half erased a sluggish start. Kentucky led 49-47 at halftime after Patterson dunked home a buzzer beater off an inbound pass from Meeks. Carter, finishing a disappointing, injury-riddled career at Kentucky, got the traditional Senior Day start but lost the opening tip. He scored one basket before Gillispie replaced him four minutes in.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Jodie Meeks scored 25 points and Patrick Patterson had 15 points and 14 rebounds Thursday to help Kentucky stop a fourgame losing streak with a 71-58 victory over Mississippi in the opening round of the Southeastern Conference tournament. The Wildcats (20-12) advanced to Friday's quarterfinals against No. 20 LSU and kept alive their hopes of extending their streak of consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament to 18. Mississippi (16-15) was outscored 35-20 in the second half, when Meeks had 15 points and Kentucky shot 54% from the field (14-of-26) and played stifling defense that forced the flustered Rebels into 11 turnovers. Terrico White led Mississippi with 21 points, but only had six after halftime. David Huertas came off the bench to score 15 after not starting because of a bone bruise in his left foot. After losing four straight games to close the regular season, Kentucky likely needs to win its 26th conference tournament title this weekend to avoid missing the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1991. Mississippi, which beat the Wildcats 85-80 at home on Jan. 27, has never beaten Kentucky twice in the same season. The Rebels were hoping a win or two in the conference tourney would enhance their chances of receiving a spot in the NIT. Meeks made 9 of 15 shots and was 6-for-7 from the foul line after struggling against Mississippi in the earlier meeting. Patterson was dominant inside, and the Wildcats also got increased production out of its supporting cast. Perry Stevenson had 13 points and eight rebounds, and Darius Miller scored 12 off the bench and had two of Kentucky's 10 blocked shots. Mississippi led 38-36 at the half, however, an inability to take care of the basketball and keep White involved in the offense eventually took its toll. The SEC freshman of the year finished 7-for-13 after making five of his first seven shots and helping the Rebels answer every time Kentucky threatened to take control early. But beyond Huertas, Mississippi's leading scorer with an 18.2 average, White didn't get a help offensively from the rest of his teammates — none of whom had more than six points. The Rebels shot 32% from the field in the second half (7 of 22) and 43.8% (21 of 48) for the game.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Marcus Thornton scored 21 points and No. 20 LSU beat Kentucky 67-58 Friday to advance to the semifinals of the Southeastern Conference tournament and most likely end the Wildcats' streak of NCAA appearances at 17. Thornton, the SEC player of the year, keyed a 10-2 spurt to enable the Tigers (26-6) to open a 14-point, second-half lead and nearly outscored Kentucky's high-scoring tandem of Jodie Meeks and Patrick Patterson by himself. Kentucky (20-13) entered the tournament feeling it had to win it all to extend its string of consecutive NCAA appearances. The Wildcats last missed the NCAA tournament in 1991 and hasn't played in the NIT since 1979. Patterson led Kentucky with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Meeks had a season-low eight points on 3-for-9 shooting. LSU led 28-23 at the half despite shooting 30.6 percent from the field and getting little scoring from anyone other than Thornton, who had 13 at the break, including 10 over the stretch in which the Tigers spurted to an eight-point lead. With LSU shooting poorly, Kentucky managed to stay close even without getting its usual production from Meeks and Patterson, two of the top five scorers in the SEC. The tandem combined for 11 first-half points on 4-for-10 shooting, with Meeks - the league's top scorer at 24.7 per game - not even attempting a shot in the first 13 minutes. Garrett Temple spearheaded the LSU defense, drawing the difficult assignment of containing Meeks, who scored 24 in the Wildcats' 73-70 loss to LSU at home on Feb. 28. The 6-foot-6 guard made the Kentucky star work hard for everything he got. Thornton, meanwhile, showed why he's the conference player of the year. The senior from Baton Rouge, La., made 8 of 17 shots, including a 3-pointer that finished the surge that carried the Tigers to 58-44 lead with 5:48 to go. Temple and Bo Spencer also made 3-pointers in the 10-2 burst. LSU didn't score again until Spencer made two free throws with 1:37 left, but the closest Kentucky could get down the stretch was seven. Spencer finished with 16 points and Tasmin Mitchell had 14. LSU shot 52 percent (13-of-25) in the second half and 39.3 percent for the game. The loss was Kentucky's ninth in 12 games. The Wildcats entered the SEC tourney on a four-game losing streak.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Jodie Meeks scored 19 points and Patrick Patterson added 16 as Kentucky got past UNLV 70-60 Tuesday night in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament, the first NIT appearance in three decades for a Wildcats team accustomed to bigger stages in March. If there was lingering disappointment after the Wildcats snapped a 17-year streak of appearing in the NCAA tournament, it didn't show on the court. Kentucky (21-13) scrambled for every loose ball, building a 20-point lead midway through the second half then weathering a late surge by UNLV (21-11) to advance to the next round against the winner of Creighton and Bowling Green. Although this year's Wildcats team has seldom resembled the championship ones led by coach Adolph Rupp, for one night, the players and fans got to turn back the clock — sort of. With Rupp Arena unavailable due to a scheduling conflict, Kentucky hosted a game at Memorial Coliseum for the first time since 1976. A sellout crowd of 8,327 people packed the gym. The crowd was loud during timeouts and deafening during the highlight plays. At times, coach Billy Gillispie could be seen touching his ear, unable to hear a player standing right next to him. Leading 19-18 with seven minutes left in the first half, Kentucky went on an 8-0 run to pull away. The Wildcats stretched the lead to 36-24 at halftime when Darius Miller missed a last-second layup, only to have it dunked back in by Patterson. The Memorial Coliseum crowd erupted on that play as the teams headed to the locker rooms. Patterson chipped in 11 rebounds for his 15th double-double of the season. He also sparked the team with his hustle, at one point diving to deflect a ball out of bounds off a UNLV player. Ramon Harris similarly gave the fans something to cheer, twice scoring on dunks from inbound passes. Kentucky built its early lead despite cold shooting from Meeks, the all-Southeastern Conference guard. Meeks heated up in the second half, nailing two early 3s, then hitting a critical jumper in traffic with three minutes left to half UNLV's comeback attempt. The Rebels cut the lead to 60-57 with four minutes left after a 3pointer by Joe Darger. Most responsible for the comeback was Wink Adams, who nailed two 3s in the span of a minute just moments earlier. Adams led UNLV with 14 points. While the NIT wasn't quite as foreign to UNLV, the Rebels were playing in it for the first time since 2005 — Kruger's first season as coach. UNLV had played in four straight NITs leading up to that.

Kentucky Creighton
65 63
OMAHA, Neb. -- This, undoubtedly, won't go down as one of Kentucky's vintage basketball seasons. Still, Jodie Meeks and his teammates aren't ready for it to end. Meeks converted a three-point play with 10.6 seconds left to give the Wildcats a 65-63 victory over Creighton in the second round of the NIT on Monday night. Next stop is Notre Dame, where Kentucky (22-13) will play in the quarterfinals Wednesday. The Wildcats, in the NIT after 17 straight years in the NCAA tournament, played from behind most of the night. But they found themselves in position to win after Creighton missed 5 of 7 free throws in the last 3½ minutes. Kentucky trailed 63-62 after Creighton's Justin Carter missed two from the line with 36.4 seconds left. Meeks, held in check by P'Allen Stinnett and Antoine Young for long stretches, blew past Stinnett on his way to the go-ahead layup and got fouled by Carter. After he made the free throw for a two-point lead, Booker Woodfox missed what would have been the winning 3-pointer just before the buzzer. Meeks said he had to adjust his body to avoid getting called for charging. The basket ruined a party atmosphere at the Qwest Center. Kentucky, college basketball's all-time winningest program, was the biggest-name opponent to play on Creighton's floor since Ray Meyer's great DePaul teams of the early 1980s. The Bluejays (27-8) fed off the amped crowd of 16,984 that showed up despite a tornado warning at tipoff. Creighton never led by more than five points and Kentucky never by more than two. There were 13 lead changes. Meeks led the Wildcats with 16 points, with 11 coming in the last 9:30. Before that, Creighton had effectively denied him the ball. Meeks, the Southeastern Conference's leading scorer at 24 points a game, got off just one shot the first nine minutes. He then missed a fastbreak dunk and an alley-oop before hitting a 3-pter. Creighton led 33-31 at half after holding Kentucky's stars, Meeks and Patrick Patterson, to a combined seven points. Patterson, who entered the game off four straight double-doubles, was on the bench until the start of the second half after committing his second foul less than five minutes into the game.

appeared about a quarter of the 7,636 fans were wearing Kentucky blue. When Meeks hit a pair of 3-pointers midway through the second half to cut Notre Dame's lead to 52-41, the Kentucky fans started chanting "Go Big Blue." They were quickly drowned out by Notre Dame fans chanting: "Let's go Irish." The Irish managed to push their home court record to 15-3. It was Notre Dame's first win over the Wildcats since a victory in 1990 during Rick Pitino's first year as Kentucky coach. In that game the Irish needed to come back from a seven-point halftime deficit. On Wednesday, the Irish led throughout. Notre Dame led 34-26 at the half. The Irish quckly stretched the lead to 40-28 as Ayers and Harangody started the second half by hitting a pair of 3s. Moments later, back-to-back baskets by Harangody gave the Irish a 48-33 lead. The Irish took their biggest lead at 62-45 when Tory Jackson, who added 10 points, scored on his own rebound with 8:02 left. Notre Dame will be making its first trip to New York for the NIT final four since losing to Wake Forest in the 2000 championship game. Kentucky fell to 5-2 at the Joyce Center. The Wildcats hold a 41-18 advantage in the series.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Luke Harangody had 30 points and 11 rebounds and Notre Dame hit 12 3-pointers to end a 10-game losing streak to Kentucky, beating the Wildcats 77-67 Wednesday night to advance to the National Invitation Tournament semifinals. Jodie Meeks scored 18 of his 21 points in the final 12:18 as the Wildcats (22-14) used a 17-5 run to cut the lead to 67-62 on a slam dunk by Perry Stevenson with 2:42 left. But the Irish were 8-of-8 from the freethrow line over the final 1:29 to end the game on a 10-5 run to hang on. Kyle McAlarney added 15 points and Ryan Ayers, who held Meeks to one basket until the Irish were up by 15, added 14 points on 4-of-7 3pointers for Notre Dame (21-14). Patrick Patterson added 18 points for the Wildcats. The Irish wil face Penn State (25-11) Tuesday night in New York. A large number of Kentucky fans, including its pep band, made the trip to South Bend, which is about 325 miles from Lexington. It

Season Recap Behind the Fabulous Five of Ralph Beard, Wah Wah Jones, Alex Groza, Kenny Rollins, and Cliff Barker, the 1947-48 Kentucky men's basketball team went 36-3 enroute to win the school's first national championship. Kentucky got off to a quick start winning its first seven games before falling to Temple in a one-point buzzer-beater. The Wildcats, however, won 26 of their next 29 games including a 58-38 victory retribution matchup over the Temple Owls. All five of the Wildcat starters were recognized by the Southeastern Conference with Jones, Beard and Rollins being named to the first team. Beard was also named the True Magazine Player-of-the-Year for the second consecutive season. Following the regular season, the Wildcats breezed through the SEC Tournament, winning the four games by a total of 111 points, including a narrow 54-53 victory over Georgia Tech in the championship game. The NCAA Tournament went much as the conference tourney did. Jones scored 19 points in the opener over Columbia and then UK won an eight-point decision over Holy Cross in the second round to advance to the championship game against Baylor. Groza poured in 23 points for the 58-42 victory over the Bears.

M ARCH 23, 1948 • N EW Y ORK Alex Groza and Ralph Beard combined for 26 points and the Wildcats’ defense held the Bears to 16 first-half points to capture UK’s first NCAA title. The title victory enabled the Wildcats to become only the second team ever to win both the NIT and NCAA titles. UK, which finished the season at 34-2, won the NIT title in 1946. Paced by Groza and Beard, the Wildcats turned a 29-16 halftime lead into a 44-28 bulge midway through the second half. After Baylor rallied to cut the lead to 11, UK put the game out of reach as Wallace “Wah Wah” Jones scored four points to give the Wildcats a 15-point lead. In addition to Groza and Beard, the Wildcats also got nine points apiece from Jones and Kenneth Rollins.

Season Recap With a familiar four starters returning from the Fabulous Five, the 1948-49 Kentucky men's basketball team appeared poised to make a second consecutive title run. The Wildcats raced through the regular season with only one loss and only three teams throughout the year came within even 10 points of Kentucky. Alex Groza led the team in scoring in 13 of its last 15 games and he broke a UK and SEC record with 38 points in a 95-40 win over Georgia on Feb. 21. The team concluded the regular season with a 70-37 win over Vanderbilt at Alumni Gym, including a last-second 65-foot shot by Cliff Barker. The Cats again swept through the SEC Tournament in nearby Louisville, winning their opening-round game over Florida, 73-36. Kentucky outscored its SEC Tournament opponents by a total of 123 points in a four-game span, including a 68-52 win over Tulane in the conference final. After being surprisingly upset in the first round of the NIT Tournament, the Wildcats had no trouble in NCAA play. Kentucky defeated Villanova, 85-72, and Illinois, 76-47, to advance to the national title game. Groza, Ralph Beard and Wah Wah Jones were all named All-America and Groza was named the tournament's MVP. It was no surprise that when the first-ever Associated Press poll was released the following year, the Cats were ranked preseason No. 1.
119
M ARCH 26, 1949 • S EATTLE Paced by Alex Groza’s 25 points and a defense that limited the Aggies to a mere nine field goals, the Wildcats were crowned NCAA Champions for the second straight year. Groza, a unanimous selection as the “Player of the Tournament,” scored more than twice as many points as any other player. A&M’s Jack Shelton was the game’s only other player to score in double figures. He finished with 12 points. The Aggies, coached by Hank Iba, led 5-2, but the Wildcats scored seven straight points, five by Groza, and never trailed again as they took a 2520 first-half lead. UK extended the lead to 31-21 early in the second half and coasted the rest of the way.

Season Recap Kentucky opened the 1950-51 season on an 84-game home win streak and they began the year by moving from the antiquated Alumni Gym to the new 11,500 seat Memorial Coliseum that was designed to commemorate the Kentuckians who died in World War II and the Korean War. Though illness plagued the team and its coach throughout the season, Kentucky compiled a 32-2 record and its third national title in four years. UK defeated arch-rival Louisville by 11 points, 79-68, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament before breezing by St. John's in the next round. After posting a narrow 76-74 victory over Illinois in the East Regional championship, the Cats toppled Kansas State, 6858, in the championship game. Seven-foot center Bill Spivey led Kentucky, scoring 19.2 points per game during the season. He was followed by the junior duo of Shelby Linville and Bobby Watson, who each averaged 10.4 ppg. The Cats outscored their opponents by 757 points in UK’s third championship season.
M ARCH 27, 1951 • M INNEAPOLIS Bill Spivey scored 22 points and an ailing Cliff Hagan sparked the Wildcats to their third NCAA title. With a squad consisting of only six healthy players — Walt Hirsch was ineligible and Hagan was plagued by an infected throat — the Wildcats hardly looked like championship material as Kansas State broke out to a 20-12 lead. It was then that Rupp inserted the ailing Hagan. It was a move that may have proved the difference as the sophomore forward sparked a rally that saw UK cut the Kansas State lead to 29-27 at the half. Led by Hagan and Spivey, who dominated the boards, UK outscored Kansas State 41-29 in the second half to complete the come-frombehind victory.
Standing: Frank Ramsey, Shelby Linville, Bill Spivey, Roger Layne, Lou Tsioropoulos, Read Morgan. Seated: Coach Adolph Rupp, Cliff Hagan, C.M.

Season Recap After finishing the previous year with a second-round NCAA tournament loss on their home court, the 1957-58 Kentucky Wildcats, behind the starting lineup of Vernon Hatton, Johnny Cox, John Crigler, Adrian Smith and Ed Beck, lost two of its final five games and appeared an unlikely contender for the national championship. The Cats were led by Hatton's 17.1 points per game and Cox's 14.9 points per game. Hatton proved his effectiveness as a clutch player by sinking a 47-foot shot at the end of regulation to send UK into a overtime against Temple, a game that the Wildcats would win 85-83 after three extra periods. Kentucky breezed past the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, held in Lexington, with wins over Miami of Ohio and Notre Dame. UK then faced Temple in the next round and again won a close 61-60 decision. The Wildcats defeated Seattle 84-72 in an anti-climactic national title tilt, the fourth and final national championship for Adolph Rupp.
M ARCH 22, 1958 • L OUISVILLE Senior Vernon Hatton scored 30 points and the Wildcats overcame a 25-point, 19-rebound performance by Elgin Baylor to capture their fourth NCAA championship. Led by Hatton and Johnny Cox, who finished with 24 points, the Wildcats twice battled back from 11-point deficits to gain the victory. Trailing for much of the game, UK grabbed its first lead with 6:08 left when Don Mills hit a hook shot to give the Wildcats a 61-60 lead. Moments later, Cox hit a jump shot to make it 63-60 and UK never trailed again. John Crigler added 14 points and 14 rebounds for the victors. Mills and Adrian Smith finished with nine and seven points, respectively. Aside from Baylor, Seattle received 17 points from Charley Brown and 16 from Jerry Frizzell.
Front Row: Coach Adolph Rupp, Adrian Smith, John Crigler, Ed Beck, Don Mills, Johnny Cox, Vernon Hatton, Assistant Coach Harry Lancaster. Second Row: Student Manager Jay Atkerson, Earl Adkins, Billy Smith, Phil Johnson, Bill Cassady, Lincoln Collinsworth and Harold Ross.

Season Recap Regular-season losses to Alabama and LSU were the only blemishes on Kentucky's 1977-78 record, as UK and senior Jack Givens, who averaged 18.1 ppg, went 30-2 for their first NCAA title in 20 years. UK outscored its opponents by 459 points during the season and were aided by 14.4 points per game from 6-foot-10 center Rick Robey. Originally hailed as an underachieving team, Kentucky overcame obstacles to win the SEC Championship and the first NCAA title under head coach Joe B. Hall. The Cats won their last eight regular-season games, including a 92-70 win over UNLV in the home finale, led by 26 points from Robey, and a 78-68 win over Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn. Characteristically, the Cats had no trouble with their earlyround competition in the NCAA Tournament, as Florida State, Miami of Ohio and Michigan State fell along the way. UK met up with Arkansas in the national semifinal game, which they won 64-59 before defeating Duke, 94-88, in the championship final.
122
M ARCH 27, 1978 • S T. L OUIS Senior Jack Givens put on one of the finest individual performances in NCAA Championship history in leading the Wildcats past the Blue Devils. With many Kentucky fans among the crowd of 18,271 chanting “Goose, Goose,” Givens scored 41 points, three short of the record for a championship game, to help the Wildcats to their fifth NCAA title and first in 20 years. Givens’ dominance was clearly evident in the first half as he scored 23 points, including UK’s last 16 of the half, to turn a 29-28 UK lead into a 45-38 cushion. It was a deficit from which the Blue Devils would not recover. Overall, Givens made 18 of 27 field goal attempts, five of eight free throws and added eight rebounds and three assists.

Season Recap Kentucky strung together 25 consecutive wins, including a 16-0 mark in Southeastern Conference play, midway through the 1995-96 season and rolled to its sixth national championship and the first under head coach Rick Pitino. The dynamic duo of Tony Delk (17.8 ppg) and Antoine Walker (15.2 ppg) led the Wildcats' team dubbed "The Untouchables" by Pitino. A 10-point loss to UMass in the second game of the season would be the only smudge on the Wildcats' schedule as they entered SEC Tournament play. UK posted dominating wins over Florida (100-76) and Arkansas (95-75) in the first two rounds of the tournament, but an up-start Mississippi State team shot 60 percent from the three-point arc to hand UK a shocking 84-73 loss in the title game. Kentucky still earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament's Dallas Regional and the stomped San Jose State and Virginia Tech to easily advance to the Sweet Sixteen. The competition proved no tougher in the next two rounds as the Wildcats outscored Utah and Wake Forest by a combined 62 points. A rematch with UMass awaited in the national semifinal, but Kentucky had no trouble with John Calipari's Minutemen, surpassing them 81-74. The Wildcats, behind six first-half three-pointers by Delk, defeated Syracuse, 76-67, in the national title game.

APRIL 1, 1996 • EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Tony Delk tied a championship game record with seven three-pointers and the Wildcats withstood a late Orangemen rally to win UK’s sixth national title before a capacity crowd of 19,229 in the Continental Airlines Arena at the Meadowlands. Delk, the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player, canned seven of 12 three-pointers to lead the Cats with 24 points. But after Syracuse had cut the lead to two, 64-62, with 4:46 remaining, a Delk misfire was tipped in by Walter McCarty to extend UK’s lead to four. After holding the Orangemen on the next possession, Derek Anderson drained a three to push the lead to seven. SU would get no closer than five in the final minutes. Delk was joined on the Final Four AllTournament team by freshman Ron Mercer, who was sensational off the bench, scoring a careerhigh 20 points on 8-12 shooting from the field, including 3-4 from three-point range.

Season Recap The team that came to be known as the "Comeback Cats," the 1997-98 Kentucky Wildcats captured their second NCAA title in three years after overcoming a 10-point halftime deficit against Utah in the national championship game. UK was 103 in games decided by 10 points or less and 7-1 in games decided by three points or less during the season. Kentucky's players provided a balanced attack, as all five starters averaged over nine points per game with senior guard Jeff Sheppard averaging 13.7 points per game and junior center Nazr Mohammed averaging 12.0 points per game. The Wildcats rolled to an 86-56 victory over South Carolina in the SEC Tournament final and then sprinted past South Carolina State, St. Louis and UCLA in the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
M ARCH 30, 1998 • S AN A NTONIO Kentucky battled back from a 41-31 halftime deficit to Utah — the largest halftime margin ever overcome in an NCAA title game — to claim the school’s seventh national championship before 40,509 fans in the Alamodome. Utah was propelled to the early lead thanks to a 24-6 rebounding advantage in the first half. But Heshimu Evans sparked the “Comeback Cats” off the bench with seven straight points early in the second half. Later, Final Four Most Outstanding Player Jeff Sheppard canned a baseline jumper with 4:54 remaining to give UK a 65-64 lead. The exhausted Utes then missed 11 consecutive field goals as the Wildcats claimed their second NCAA Championship in three years. Scott Padgett joined Sheppard on the All-Final Four team after scoring 17 points. UK outrebounded the Utes 18-15 in the second half.

From 1939, when the NCAA Tournament started, the Helms and NCAA champions were the same, except for 1939-40-44-54. In addition to its NCAA Championship years of 1948, ’49, ’51, ’58, ’78, ’96 and ’98, Kentucky was named the Helms National Champion in 1933 (20-3) and 1954 (250).

C HAMPION K ENTUCKY C OACHES A DOLPH R UPP UK Record: 876-190 (82.2%), 41 years • 1931-72 Alma Mater (Year): Kansas (1923) Hometown: Halstead, Kan. Born: Sept. 2, 1901 • Died: Dec. 10, 1977 (age 76)
former UK Media Guide began, “In the storied land of Kentucky Colonels, there dwelled but one Baron, a man of consummate pride and a molder of powerful teams which for more than four decades made the name University of Kentucky synonymous with the game of basketball.” Tutored by the great Phog Allen at Kansas and a student of the game under Dr. James Naismith, Rupp learned his craft at an early age. After leaving the high school ranks in Freeport, Ill., to take the UK job in 1930, the “man in the brown suit” became the winningest coach in all of college basketball. He was an innovator of the fast break, a trademark of the Wildcats even today. To become the winningest coach in his sport, Rupp passed his mentor, Coach Allen, on March 12, 1966, with his 747th victory against Dayton in the Mideast Regional. He achieved the top ranking when he passed Western Kentucky’s E.A. Diddle with victory No. 760 on Feb. 18, 1967, at Mississippi State. He finished with 876 wins when he retired in 1972, a mark that stood for 25 years until North Carolina’s Dean Smith moved ahead in 1997. Among the many UK victories were four NCAA titles (1948, ’49, ’51 and ’58), one Olympic Gold Medal (1948), one NIT Championship (1946), 27 Southeastern Conference titles and his Wildcats were voted No. 1 in the final polls on six different occasions. Rupp coached some of America’s best – Sale, Beard, Groza, Hagan, Ramsey, Cox, Hatton, Nash, Riley and Issel. Twenty-four of his Cats were voted All-Americans 35 times and 52 players were honored 91 times as All-SEC performers. His teams were unmatched in league play, earning a 400-74 (84.4%) record against SEC competition. In the conference tournament, Rupp’s Wildcats were 57-6, winning 13 titles in 19 appearances. Before the end of his 42-year career, the four-time National Coach of the Year was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 1969. Rupp also earned SEC Coach of the Year honors on seven occasions.

oe B. Hall, who grew up just 20 minutes north of the University of Kentucky campus in Cynthiana, had the unenviable task of following the legendary Adolph Rupp, who was forced to retire at age 70. But Hall, the former Rupp assistant, met the challenge head on, coaching three teams to the Final Four (1975, ‘78 and ‘84) and winning the 1978 NCAA Championship, the school’s fifth title and first in 20 seasons. Hall began his association with Kentucky as a student-athlete during the “Fabulous Five era.” He played one year of junior varsity and one year of varsity basketball before transferring to the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., where he finished his eligibility and set a single-game scoring record. Following his college career, Hall toured Europe with the Harlem Globetrotters in 1951, but later returned to UK and completed his degree requirements. His coaching career began at Shepherdsville (Ky.) High School in 1956. It continued on to Regis College in Denver, where he spent five years (57-50 record), and Central Missouri State, where he recorded a 19-6 mark in one season before returning to UK as an assistant to Rupp on July 1, 1965. As the UK head coach, Hall won National Coach of the Year honors in 1978 and four SEC Coach of the Year awards. He had seven players win All-America honors 11 times and nine Wildcats were voted All-SEC on 18 occasions.

Hall’s squads recorded a 172-62 (73.5%) record vs. SEC competition during the regular season, winning eight SEC titles in 13 seasons and one league tournament championship in six tries. While Coach Rupp witnessed 37 of his players drafted by the NBA, Hall saw 23 players drafted during his 13-year tenure, five in the first round. Retired, Hall still resides in Lexington. R ICK P ITINO UK Record: 219-50 (81.4%), 8 years • 1990-97 Alma Mater (Year): Massachusetts (1974) Hometown: New York, N.Y. Born: Sept. 18, 1952
romising to win right away, the 36-year-old coach from the New York Knicks accepted the challenge of rebuilding the Kentucky basketball dynasty. Pitino came to UK with impressive credentials, having rebuilt Boston U., Providence and the Knicks. His first UK team, “Pitino’s Bombinos,” shocked the college basketball world by defeating Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Jackson and the No. 9-ranked LSU Tigers in Lexington en route to a surprising 14-14 record in 1989-90. It was a glimpse into the future. The following year, UK finished with the best record in the SEC. Then in 1992, fresh off NCAA probation, the “Unforgettables” took eventual national champion Duke into overtime of the East Regional final before falling 104-103 in what many have labeled “the greatest college basketball game ever played.” In 1993, with Jamal Mashburn leading the charge, UK advanced to the Final Four for the first time in nine years, losing to Michigan in overtime. After an Elite Eight finish in ’95, Pitino’s squad became the team to beat in ’96. Highlights included the school’s first league championship in 10 seasons, a 27-game win streak, a top-three ranking nearly the entire season, and the crowning jewel, the school’s sixth NCAA title. After UK lost four players to the NBA Draft, Pitino’s task of defending the national championship became more difficult after star-guard Derek Anderson severely injured his knee during the ’97 season. But the Cats wouldn’t fold, rolling to the title game before losing to Arizona in overtime. Along the way, Pitino won five of six SEC Tournament Championships, two ECAC Holiday Classics, the Maui Invitational and the Great Alaska Shootout. He had a 104-28 record vs. SEC teams, winning two league crowns, and an amazing 17-1 record in the SEC tourney. He coached three All-Americans and eight All-SEC performers. The NBA drafted eight of his Wildcats, six in the first round, including three lottery picks. Following the national runner-up trophy in 1997, the former point guard at UMass left UK for the

challenge of rebuilding the NBA’s Boston Celtics. s Kentucky made its run to the NCAA’s 2005 Elite Eight, national media members began to notice unusual traits about Tubby Smith’s latest group of Wildcats. For instance, no player scored 15 or more points a game. No one averaged eight rebounds. As many as 13 players routinely saw action, often in the first half alone. This team was selfless and versatile, yet extremely competitive. Just like its coach, Orlando “Tubby” Smith. In his 10 seasons in the Bluegrass, Smith won with McDonald’s All-Americans and with unheralded prep talent. He won with future NBA stars and with walk-ons from within the Commonwealth. He won with experience and with new players. In a nutshell, he won. Since arriving in Lexington in 1997, Smith led Kentucky to one national championship, five SEC

crowns and five SEC Tournament titles, with six Sweet 16 finishes in his 10 seasons. He totaled 100 wins quicker than any other Wildcat coach except Hall of Famer Adolph Rupp, reaching the plateau in 130 games. Since taking over the UK program, he won 76 percent of his games despite playing a schedule that annually ranked among the nation’s best. In NCAA Tournament play, Smith finished his career at UK with the sixth-best winning percentage (.690) among active coaches, trailing Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, among others, with a sterling 29-13 record. Even more impressive, Smith averaged nearly 26 wins per season at Kentucky. In the SEC Tournament, he was 20-5 at UK, and he won a league championship seven times in his 10 years as head coach.

R ETIRED J ERSEYS s the videotape rolls through the 103-year history of the Kentucky basketball program, the highlights are numerous. Seven national championships… numerous Southeastern Conference titles… last second shots… the trophies… the netcutting… victory upon victory. The pictures and images continue to roll. Year-after-year, the Wildcats have defended national championships and produced a host of AllAmericans. The UK program also has stocked the NBA with top young talent. But the ultimate honor for a Wildcat player or coach is to have his jersey retired. Through the years, 42 former players, coaches and contributors have received this recognition. According to former UK sports information director Russell Rice, the first jersey to be retired was Layton “Mickey” Rouse, an All-Southeastern Conference guard who captained the 1940 UK squad. At the annual banquet following the season, Coach Adolph Rupp surprised Rouse when he presented him his entire uniform. Following the 1949 season, Rupp honored the four seniors from the back-to-back national championship teams — Cliff Barker, Ralph Beard, Alex Groza and Wallace “Wah, Wah” Jones, along with 1948 team captain Kenny Rollins — by retiring their jerseys and stating that their numbers would never be worn again by a Kentucky player. It was then that they were tagged “the Fabulous Five” after Rupp made mention there would never be another team that “fabulous.” However, with the streamlining of jersey numbers by the NCAA, the jerseys are retired but the numbers remain active. Two contributors have been selected for the basketball program’s highest honor, including the late Cawood Ledford, the radio “Voice of the Wildcats” for 39 years. In 1997, Bill Keightley, the lovable and dedicated equipment manager known as “Mr. Wildcat,” also was selected. And the great coaches have been honored as well — Rupp, Hall and Pitino. Each selection has been presented with a framed jersey and a banner proudly hung from the Rupp Arena rafters. And as the film clip continues, there’s sure to be a sequel in the works.

The late Bill Keightley is one of two non-player/coaches to receive the highest honor as having a jersey retired in Rupp’s rafters.

C APACITY: 23,000 (1976-P RESENT: W ON 427, L OST 60) dolph Rupp is synonymous with winning. As coach of Kentucky, he was a pioneer in the Wildcats’ fast-break offense while becoming the winningest coach the game had ever seen. The site that now serves as a tribute to his outstanding coaching accomplishments – Rupp Arena – has become one of the most recognizable gymnasiums in the world while serving as home to college basketball’s most storied program. Now in its 34th season as the Kentucky Wildcats’ home court, the facility has seen UK win 88 percent of its home games since it was opened in 1976. In recent years, Rupp Arena completed renovations - including the lower arena seats being changed to blue from their

previous rainbow colors. In addition, new endzone seating moved the student section closer to the floor in an intimidating, standing-room only arrangement. While the endowment seats along courtside continue to entice fans to financially support their Wildcats, a large portion of the media have been moved to a “press box” location between the lower and upper seating areas. And finally, nearly 40 seats were added to each corner, the first additions in seating in nearly two decades. The improvements followed changes that included four new video boards, a new playing floor with a striking new design and enhancements to the concourses as well. It was all part of a $15 million upgrade to what many consider the mecca of college basketball. Since the fall of 1976, the arena in downtown Lexington has served as home

to three national championship teams at Kentucky. Three others have advanced to the Final Four. Eight seasons have witnessed the Cats go unbeaten at home. It has played host to over 480 UK games, countless KHSAA Sweet 16s, a number of NBA exhibitions, 11 NCAA Tournaments, three SEC Tournaments and two Ohio Valley Conference Tournaments. With so many unforgettable moments, the old floor still maintained a value to hoop fans across the Bluegrass and beyond. Therefore, officials made pieces of the relic available for public sale, with proceeds going to the UK Basketball Museum, the Kentucky High School Athletic Association and to help offset the costs of the new playing floor. Thanks to an auction of additional sections, like coaching boxes and lettered end zones, the old floor generated

downtown Lexington, Rupp Arena has played host to several premier basketball events. In March of 1985, all roads led to Lexington for the NCAA Final Four as Villanova shocked Georgetown in a memorable finale. In 1986, Rupp played host to both the Southeastern Conference Tournament and the NCAA Women’s Final Four. On numerous other occasions, the arena has served as one stop en route to the NCAA title game. An awesome structure in sight and scope, the arena is divided into two seating areas. The lower level features 10,000 cushioned theater seats. The upper level has 13,000 seats on epoxy-coated metal bleachers. The latter can be visually isolated to provide more natural setting for small shows. Built by the city of Lexington, the arena is the major portion of the $53 million Lexington

more than $250,000. The new portable basketball court, adorned with the official interlocking UK logo at midcourt, was designed by both UK officials and the Lexington Center Corporation. Robbins, Inc., in Cincinnati constructed it in 2001 at a cost of $125,000. When assembled, it lies 118 feet below the ceiling and is made of a high-grade northern maple. The floor can be removed and an ice rink can be constructed for ice shows or hockey games thanks to a $2.5 million renovation during the summer of ’96. But the playing surface is just one aspect of the impressive home of the Cats. Situated in
Center complex, which includes an expanded convention-exhibition hall, a 50-store tri-level enclosed shopping mall and a Hyatt Regency Hotel. The Wildcats command an exclusive locker room 365 days a year, while other amenities include six team-size dressing rooms and eight smaller units. In January 2001, the arena unveiled four new video boards, each 12’6” by 20’ in size and mounted in each corner. It allowed the Wildcats to utilize a new “lights out” introduction, featuring a video presentation and indoor fireworks.

A LUMNI G YM A LUMNI G YM - Won 247, Lost 24 lumni Gym is actually “the first house that Rupp built.” A house filled with tradition. A house where Kentucky basketball began. Memorial Coliseum is often referred to as “the house that Rupp built.” The Wildcats’ current home, Rupp Arena, was dedicated to the legendary coach in 1976. But the rich Kentucky basketball tradition began 26 years before the ink was even dry on the Memorial Coliseum plans. In 1923, the Athletics Council members argued to the Board of Trustees that the old gym in Barker Hall’s Buell Armory was unsafe for even the small number of people it could accommodate. Large crowds that had to be turned away and the probability that the popular state high school tournament would be moved away were two major factors that convinced the Board members that a new gym was in order. Soon, the 2,800-seat structure was approved and the Alumni Association began efforts to raise the $100,000 needed for the Wildcats new home — a home critics labeled as a “white elephant.” Alumni Gym, which was complete for the 1924-25 season, holds claim to the birth of Wildcat basketball mania. The building served as the home floor for Wildcat squads until 1950. During that time, Kentucky lost only 24 of its 271 games, while laying the groundwork to become the winningest college basketball team in the nation. When Rupp took the reins of the program in 1930, his squads established a home record of 201 victories against just eight losses in 19 seasons. He led the Cats to 84 consecutive wins in the confines of Alumni including 64 consecutive victories in the Southeastern Conference. During the last 17 seasons in the gym, the Wildcats won 12 conference tournament crowns and three Sugar Bowl championships. Through 26 seasons at the corner of the Avenue of Champions and South Limestone, Kentucky suffered only one losing season, while having 12 campaigns with three or fewer losses. Kentucky basketball became a dynasty in 1948 after winning the SEC and NCAA championships and the coveted Olympic gold in London, England. Led by All-Americans Alex Groza, Ralph Beard and Wallace “Wah Wah”

M EMORIAL C OLISEUM or 26 years, the pulsating cries of “Rip ‘em Up, Tear ‘em Up, Give ‘em Hell Wildcats” rang through one of the grandest and most historic of all basketball palaces — UK’s Memorial Coliseum. In 1941, when Dr. H.L. Donovan became president of the University, one of his first recommendations was for a building “that will properly take care of our athletics, our health service, physical education and recreation.” From this beginning came the plan that culminated in the construction of 11,500-seat Memorial Coliseum, a then-unparalleled edifice costing $3,925,000 by the time it was completed in 1950. The Wildcats got off to a fine start in the Coliseum, winning every game played in the building for the first three seasons. When Georgia Tech upset Kentucky 59-58 on Jan. 8, 1955, it marked the first time the Wildcats had lost on their home court since the days of Alumni Gym, dating back more than 12 years to Jan. 2, 1943. The loss ended a streak of 129 consecutive wins at home for Kentucky, an NCAA record that still stands today. In 26 years, Kentucky came away a loser only 38 times in 344 games. From the early 1960s on, the sale of UK basketball season tickets was closed to the public with season ticket holders taking all the allotment other than student seating. The huge building, which serves as a memorial to the nearly 10,000 Kentuckians who lost their lives in World War II and the Korean War, covers an entire city block and contains as much space as a seven-story office building. Situated along the Avenue of Champions, the Coliseum still houses UK Athletics Association offices and is the home to Kentucky women’s basketball, gymnastics and volleyball. The arena’s current capacity is 8,500. History was rewritten on March 17, 2009 when the Wildcats hosted UNLV in the first round of the NIT. Due to a scheduling conflict with Rupp Arena, Kentucky played its first game in Memorial Coliseum in over 30 years. In front of a capacity crowd, the Wildcats “rechristened” the venerable gym with a 70-60 win over the Running Rebels.

Total
(1958), nine Southeastern Conference Tournament titles, and have defeated some of the best teams from around the country before Wildcats fans in Louisville. Kentucky began playing in Louisville in 1908, when the Cats lost to Louisville Coliseum, 30-18. UK defeated the University of Louisville, 26-13 in 1914, lost to the Cards 26-15 the following year, and then defeated them 32-24 in 1916. Two years later, UK lost to Centre, 2212, in the state championship game played in Louisville. The Cats defeated the Cards there in 1922 and then did not play again in the Derby City until the 1936-37 season, when they dropped a 41-28 decision to Notre Dame. Most of those early games were played in the Armory downtown before Freedom Hall was opened (1957). The Cats christened the new facility by capturing the 1958 NCAA title with victories over Temple and Seattle. The spacious arena has played host to Kentucky teams every year since. Kentucky’s record at Freedom Hall now stands at 56-17. The Wildcats’ overall record in Louisville is 120-32: 72-25 in regular-season play, 43-3 in SEC Tournament play and 5-3 in postseason competition. Kentucky’s most impressive string of victories in Louisville came when the Cats won 32 straight games between 1946 and 1951. Only 12 of the 32 teams Kentucky has faced in Louisville have been able to knock off the Cats. The longest running series has been with Notre Dame, with the Wildcats holding a 23-9 advantage over the Fighting Irish. Kentucky established a then-Freedom Hall attendance record in 1993 as 20,060 fans jammed the arena to watch the Cats down the Indiana Hoosiers, 81-78. Seven years earlier, 20,053 fans looked on as the Cats faced SEC-rival Georgia, Dec. 30, 1986. UK fans continued a Wildcat tradition as more than 19,000 arrived the night before for a brief Kentucky shooting practice and to catch a glimpse of super-frosh Rex Chapman in December 1986. Three days earlier, the Wildcats had handed Louisville its worst defeat ever at Freedom Hall, 85-51.

F) 7.1 *As part of sanctions imposed upon the UK basketball program in 1989, the NCAA ordered Kentucky to erase from the record three NCAA tournament games from the 198788 season. Kentucky’s 99-84 win over Southern, a 90-81 win over Maryland and an 80-74 loss to Villanova have been deleted from the records, thus changing the 1987-88 season record from 27-6 to 25-5. The presidents of the Southeastern Conference institutions voted to strip Kentucky of the 1987-88 SEC regular season and SEC Tournament championships. Kentucky was not forced to forfeit any of those regular season or tournament games.
